B9. height	Bar code height, in 1/100 inches, 1/10 mm, or dots. Minimum
	values:
	English		19
	Metric		48
	203 Dots		38
	300 Dots		57
	POSTNET, PDF417, and MaxiCode bar codes have a fixed
	height. Always use 0 for these bar codes.
	For Data Matrix and QR Code, 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 and QR Codes may not be scannable. The Data Matrix
	and QR Code’s height depends on the number entered for this
	parameter. For example, if you select 80, the symbol could be
	smaller than 0.80," but 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.
B10. text	Appearance of text with bar code. For UPC and EAN only use
	0-7. For all others, use 8, except where noted. Options:
	0	Default
		MaxiCode Mode 0 (obsolete)
		QR Code Model 2
	1	No check digit or number system
		QR Code Model 1
	2	MaxiCode Mode 2 (Numeric Postal Code)
		QR Code Model 2
	3	MaxiCode Mode 3 (Alphanumeric Postal Code)
	5	Number system at bottom, no check digit
	6	Check digit at bottom, no number system
	7	Check digit and number system at bottom
	8	No text, bar code only
		MaxiCode (autodetect modes 0, 2, or 3)
	NOTE: Data Matrix must use 8.
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, Data
	Matrix, and QR Code must use L.
