EPSON Codabar

Four Codabar fonts are available, allowing you to enable and disable the automatic insertion of check digits and OCR-B.

The height of the barcode is automatically adjusted to 15% or more of its total length, in conformance to the Codabar standard. For this reason, it is important to keep at least one space between the barcode and the surrounding text to prevent overlapping.

When either a Start or a Stop character is input, Codabar fonts automatically insert the complimentary character.

If neither a Start nor a Stop character is input, these characters are automatically input as the letter A.
