The 39 bar code is much longer than it should be.
Cause The bar code selection sequence was sent before you sent the space
characters to position the bar code. As a result, the spaces are separate from
the bar code data, and the bar code is much wider than expected (usually
across the page).
Remedy When you position the cursor horizontally using blank spaces to position the bar
code in the right place, you must send the bar code selection sequence after
sending the space characters to move it horizontally.
If you can only send the bar code selection sequence at the beginning of the
line, use the special 39 symbology specifications with no starting spaces (IDs
24670 and 24671). This symbology does not include the starting spaces in the
bar code data.
A bar code calling sequence is inserted in a PCL5 macro.
Cause A bar code calling sequence has been inserted into a PCL5 macro without the
proper bar code data.
Remedy Insert the bar code calling sequence with the bar code data into the PCL macro.
If an application needs to send the same bar code multiple times, it can include
the calling sequence with the PCL macro, and invoke it in the required number
of occurrences.
