Purpose Invokes bar codes.
Comment The brackets indicate optional parameters in the command
string. Do not include the brackets in your command.
These bar codes cannot be rotated or scaled. If there is a
printable data field in the bar code specification, it prints in the
LetterG othic (LG) font; except for UPC-A and UPC-E which print
in OCR B.
Bar codes cannot be positioned beyond the bottom or right end
of the currently defined logical form. The command syntax
prevents positioning the cursor above the current position or to
the left of the form. Drawing a bar code causes the printer to
automatically switch to print mode.
The LG print mode is active until the bottom of the bar code has
been printed. After this, you can change the print mode. You can
change the print mode to OCR A, OCR B or back to LG between
the current cursor location and the bottom of the bar code
position. Print mode changes to Courier are ignored in this
region.
