Function

Set impact energy

 

ASCII

[GS] E <n>

Function

Set bar code height

 

ASCII

[GS] h <n>

 

Description

This command sets the bar code height in dot lines. The Series 150

 

Printer prints bar codes in eight dot passes in graphics. The height

 

used in EPOS is intended for thermal printers. To allow some type of

 

compatibility between EPOS and the Series 150 Printer, the value of

 

<n> is divided by 28. This allows a similar size bar code to be printed.

Note: Values less than 28 return the printer to the default values defined by the [ESC] [EM] B command in normal mode.
