Printek PrintMaster 850 Series Bar Code Height, Example, Two Character Sequence Identifier for

Printing Basic Bar Codes

The following sequence will print the same bar code, except the bar code will be four times as wide.

^BN9a448812345^G^-

Example:

Note that when choosing the bar code type off which the variable width bar code will be based, ratio is irrelevant. If a 2-of-5 bar code with ratio 3:3:9:9 (not supported directly) is desired, it may be derived from bar code types “g” and “h”. The following variable width bar code definitions all produce exactly the same result.

^BN9g339912345^G^-

^BN9h339912345^G^-

Choosing any other bar code type will not achieve the desired result. The following bar code has the desired ratio, but it is a Code 39 instead of a 2-of-5 bar code.

^BN9a339912345^G^-

Bar Code Height

The sequence used to specify bar code height is

^Htt
^H	Two Character Sequence Identifier for
	Bar Code Height.
tt	Height, in Tenth Inches.
	Range is 01 to 99 (0.1 to 9.9 inches).

If this sequence is not used, default bar code height is 0.3 inches. All bar codes printed together horizontally across the page must be the same height. If height is specified more than once, the latest specified height will be used.
