Standard Codabar Command Format
Refer to page 135 for the IBARC, command format and definitions.
Default Ratio: (cc)
dir p D data (cc)G
Variable Ratio: (cc)
dir p [9] [:] D [ ratio ] data (cc)G
(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your Code V
configuration.
dir Represents the direction of the bar code. Enter B
for horizontal bar codes; enter C for vertical bar
codes.
p Prints the optional readable data field. The
readable data field is printed below a horizontal bar
code or on the left side of a vertical bar code.
Replace
p in the bar code command with one of the
codes listed in Table 19 to print the readable data
field in the corresponding font with the specified
guard band gap.
NOTE: Vertical bar codes print only in standard 10 cpi font because OCR
fonts cannot be rotated. If an OCR-type font is selected with a vertical
bar code command, the standard 10 cpi font is substituted
automatically.
9 or : Optional parameter to select a variable ratio bar
code. Enter the number 9 to select a variable ratio
bar code. This feature overrides the default
Codabar ratio 1:2:3:4:1:1:1:1.
If the : parameter is specified, the ratios are
represented in printer dots instead of IGP dots
(60 x 72 dpi).
D The Codabar type code. Enter D.
