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.
