Default Bar Code Characteristics

p1=4 Code 39

p2=9 3/4 inch height

p3=1 Human-readable line printed p4=2 Narrow bar width 1/60 inch p5=6 Wide bar width 1/20 inch p6=2 Narrow space width 1/60 inch p7=6 Wide space width 1/20 inch

p8=2 Intercharacter space width 1/60 inch p9=0 No rotation, use currently selected font p10=0 Horizontal print density 60 dpi

Human-Readable Line (HRL)

The human-readable line is printed 0. 10 inch below the bar code symbol. The height of the HRL and the 0.10 inch space are not included in the bar code height parameter (p2).

Adiamond symbol appearing in the human-readable line indicates one of the following conditions:

•Margin overrun. The data to be printed exceeds the available space remaining inside the programmed margins.

•The DEL character has been received while printing in a bar code style that permits the use of all 128 ASCII characters.

•An invalid character has been received. An example of this would be a letter "A" sent to the printer while printing a style 5 bar code.

Style 5 (EAN-8) only accepts the digits 0-9.

Font Styles and Enhancements

Non-rotated bar codes can be printed with an HRL in any of the fonts available to the printer.

If enhancements are desired (e.g., bold, underline, or expanded) the HRL must be printed using the normal text mode. Print the bar code symbol(s) without the HRL first. Exit the bar code mode and print the HRL using the normal text mode with enhancements.

Rotated bar codes use a special font for the human-readable line.

Spacing and Bar Code Editing Aids

There is a 0.25-inch space called a quiet zone at the beginning and end of every bar code. As a result, the minimum distance between two horizontal bar codes is 0.50 inch.

Most bar code styles accept commas. spaces, and horizontal tabs as delimiters to separate bar codes. A comma adds no additional space between bar codes, so the separation is the width of the quiet zone or

0.50inch. A space character adds 0.10 inch to the quiet zone for a total of 0.60 inch separation. A horizontal tab adds the appropriate number of empty spaces to go to the next tab.
