^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”

“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.
