Bar Code Definition

The sequence used to define a horizontal bar code is

^BNxccc...	c^G
^B	Two Character Sequence Identifier for
	Horizontal Bar Code Definition.
N	Reserved Parameter.
x	Bar Code Type.
	“a”	= Code 39 1:1:2:2 Ratio
	“b”	= Code 39 1:1:3:3 Ratio
	“c”	= Code 39 1:2:4:5 Ratio
	“d”	= Code 39 LOGMAR Standard Density
	“e”	= Code 39 LOGMAR Medium Density
	“f”	= Code 39 LOGMAR Low Density
	“g”	= 2-of-5 1:1:3:X Ratio
	“h”	= 2-of-5 1:2:3:X Ratio
	“i”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 BS Code 1:1:3:3 Ratio
	“j”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 BS Code 1:2:4:5 Ratio
	“k”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 BS Code 1.5:1.5:4.5:4.5 Ratio
	“l”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 BS Code 2:2:6:6 Ratio
	“m”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 C Code 1:1:2:2 Ratio
	“n”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 C Code 1:1:2.5:2.5 Ratio
	“o”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 C Code 1.5:1.5:3.5:3.5 Ratio
	“p”	= Interleaved 2-of-5 C Code2:2:4.5:4.5 Ratio
ccc...c	Characters to be Bar Coded.
^G	Sequence Terminator.
	Required to signal end of character data.

The width of a defined bar code is predetermined by the definition of the bar code type. The width of all bars and spaces is automatically set.

Example:

The following sequence defines a Code 39 LOGMAR bar code of standard density. The characters “12345” are encoded in the bar code.

^BNd12345^G^-

Example:

The same character data is represented below in a low density LOGMAR bar code.

^BNf12345^G^-
