Bar Codes5–2
Overview A bar code is a graphic representation of alphanumeric characters. Bar codes
are produced by entering bar code commands in the Create Form Mode. The
IGP/PGL bar codes are listed below, in Table 5–1, with detailed bar code
information provided on the referenced pages.
All parameters must be separated by a semicolon (;) unless noted otherwise.
Throughout this chapter, actual commands required for input are shown
exactly as they must be entered, while all parameters associated with that
command are shown in italics. Optional parameters are enclosed in brackets.
Spaces are used only to visually separate the command parameters, but do
not enter these spaces in your command.
