p3 - Human Readable Enable

An argument of 1 turns on the human-readable line, while 0 tur ns it off. The default is on. When

the human readable line is enabled, it is printed in the f ont specified by parameter p12. There is

0.1" between the bottom edge of the bar code and the top of the c haracters in the human-

readable line.

Element Widths

The default element widths are the narrowest that we recomm end for consistent readability.

The argument units for horizontal bar code element widt hs are 1/120 inch. The print wire diameter

is 1/72 inch; a printed dot is about 1/60 inch in diameter. T his is the finest line that the printer can

make. The printer accepts an element width of 1 as a valid argument, but the actual width of the

resulting element is 1/60 inch, the same as if you had sp ecified a width of 2.

If the element width argument is greater than 2, then the printer rounds down odd numbers. A

width argument of 5 produces the same result as a width argum ent of 4.

p4 - Narrow Bar Width

Argument units are 1/120 inch if the bar code is horizont al (0o or 180o rotation) or 1/144 inch if the

bar code is vertical (90o or 270o rotation). The default is 2.

p5 - Wide Bar Width

Argument units are 1/120-inch increments if the bar cod e is horizontal or 1/144 inch if the bar

code is vertical. The default is 6.

p6 - Narrow Space Width

Argument units are 1/120-inch increments if the bar cod e is horizontal or 1/144 inch if the bar

code is vertical. The default is 2.

p7 - Wide Space Width

Argument units are 1/120-inch increments if the bar cod e is horizontal or 1/144 inch if the bar

code is vertical. The default is 6.

Wide space and wide bar are both set to the smaller of the two values. This sets the proportion

of the large to small the same for spaces as it is for bars.
