Pass Width

This function changes the width of block characters within a Graphics Box.

Command ^Wxx

Arguments

^W Pass Width Command

xxNew window width in increments of 0.1 inches (0.25 cm) from 01 to 99. The actual width ranges from 0.1 to 9.9 inches (0.25 to 25.2 cm).

Example: The Graphics Pass, ^M0404000GRA ^W02PHIC^- prints:

^M	Horizontal orientation of characters.
04	Window height of 0.4 inches (1.02 cm).
04	Window width of 0.4 inches (1.02 cm).
00	No justification down.
0	No additional dot row justification down.
GRA	Data to be printed at 0.4 inches (1.02 cm) high.
^W	Indicates a change in character width.
02	New character height of 0.2 inches (0.51 cm).
PHIC	Data to be printed at 0.2 inches (0.51 cm) high.

Pass Density

This function changes the density (dots per inch or DPI) of barcodes and block characters. The density of lines and boxes is not changed by this command. The Pass Density command may be issued either inside or outside a Graphics Pass and remains in effect until another Pass Density command occurs or Graphics Mode is exited.

The default printing density is 60x72 DPI (60 DPI horizontally by 72 DPI vertically). The most common use of the ^~D command is to set the horizontal density to 70 DPI to decrease barcode size. Pass density is inversely proportional to size (higher density = smaller size). For example, a 2x increase in density results in a 2x size reduction.

Command ^~Dhhhvvv

Arguments

^~D Pass Density Command

hhhThe horizontal density in dots per inch. The allowable range is from 040 to 240.
