POSTNET, PDF417, and MaxiCode bar codes have a fixed

 

height. Always use 0 for these bar codes.

 

For Data Matrix bar codes, the printer determines the size of

 

the symbol, but the user’s scanner determines the functional

 

size (minimum height) of the symbol. Small Data Matrix

 

symbols may not be scannable. The Data Matrix symbol’s

 

height depends on the number entered for this parameter. For

 

example, if you select an 80 by 80 Data Matrix symbol, with a

 

height of 100 (one inch), the symbol could be as small as

 

0.80" or as large as 1.0". It will not be greater than the

 

amount specified in this parameter. The symbol arranges the

 

data according to rows and columns within the specified

 

height.

 

 

NOTE: If using the optional verifier, allow the following

 

minimum bar code heights: 0.35" (English) for 4.0

 

ips; 0.50" (English) for 6.0 ips; 0.70" (English) for 8.0

 

ips; 0.95" (English) for 10.0 ips.

B11. alignment Choose L, R, C, B or E to align the bar code data correctly in the field. B centers variable width bar codes, which may not allow pad-character centering (Code 128, Code 39, etc.) E right justifies variable width bar codes. MaxiCode and Data Matrix must use L.
