Configuring the Printer 3-7
Format Bar Code Options To set options for bar code fields, go to the Format Bar Code Options Menu.
These options affect a format during format creation/editing only. For
example, you cannot change the default appearance, and then print a
format, expecting the new appearance to be used. You must create/edit a
format after setting the options here. Only then are these values used.
