CHAPTER 7: SPECIAL DESIGNS
7.1 | DESIGNING WITH BAR CODES |
|
When 0 and 180 degree bar codes are X multiplied |
| |
(CMX) for better readability, the space between |
| |
characters is also multiplied to create a more |
| |
readable bar code. The printer will do this internally. |
| |
Therefore, when multiplying bar codes, use the |
| |
default value for the spacing element (SP) in the field |
| |
parameters. |
| |
If the Y multiplier (CMY) is not multiplied, a barcode |
| |
with a vertical length of one dot is produced. Of |
| |
course, this will not be picked up by scanners. Multiply |
| |
the Y |
| |
Multiply the Y |
| |
| ||
one inch tall bar code. |
| |
If the bar code is in a ladder (or vertical) | Bar Code Rotations | |
orientation (90 and 270 degrees), multiply | Figure 13 | |
CMY for width, and CMX for bar code length. |
| |
It may be necessary to slightly adjust the contrast base or window (^D35 or ^D36) since the dots will be continually fired in succession and may cause distorted print.
Program sample: Bar codes in four rotations (See figure 13)
