X[D]n

Optional parameter to designate the width of the

 

narrow element in either the default 60 X 72 dots

 

per inch or, if the D is given, in target dots. The

 

default size is 1/60th of an inch.

Y[D]n

Optional parameter to designate the height of the

 

bar code in either the default 60 X 72 dots per inch

 

or, if the D is given, in target dots. The default size

 

is 2/72nd of an inch.

Hn

Optional parameter to adjust the overall height of

 

the bar code symbol (including human readable

 

data). Height adjustments are made in 0.1-inch

 

increments; enter H and a value from 4 through 99

 

to select height adjustments from 0.4 through 9.9

 

inches. Parameters Wn, Rn, Cn or ASPECT cannot

 

be entered if this parameter is used.

Wn

Optional parameter for the maximum width of the

 

symbol based on the narrow element width. Enter

 

Wn; where n is the overall width in tenths of an

 

inch. Parameters Hn, Rn, Cn or ASPECT cannot be

 

entered if this parameter is used.

ASPECT;h:w Optional parameter for specifying the symbol height-to-width ratio where h is the height and w is the width, both expressed as integers. The default is 1:2. Parameters Hn, Wn, Rn, or Cn cannot be entered if this parameter is used.

Rn

Optional parameter that specifies the number of

 

rows the symbol will have. Enter R followed by the

 

number of rows in the range of 3 through 90 in

 

multiples of 3. Parameters Hn, Wn, Cn or ASPECT

 

cannot be entered if this parameter is used.

Cn

Optional parameter that specifies the number of

 

columns the symbol will have. Enter C followed by

 

the number of columns in the range of 1 through
