HRI

HRI = Human Readable Index

HRI characters are centered if enough space is left. If the barcode printout is

smaller than the HRI character field, smaller character densit y (CPI) is used.

Start and stop codes are not printed as HRI; a space character (SP) will be

stored.

Barcode Width

By specifying an ASCII value from 0 to 3, the barcode width can be d efined.

This allows adaption to the scanner specifications, particularly for lon g-range

scanners.
