MSI Bar Code Examples

The following command generates the horizontal default ratio MSI bar code

shown below. In the command sequence, graphics mode data is

italicized

and

bar code data is boldface. Refer to the “Commands” chapter for a detailed

description of alphanumeric commands.

^PY^-^M10,10,000^KF^

BYH87654321^G^

KF^-^PN^-

^PY^- enabled the graphics command sequence. ^M introduced the standard

alphanumeric command. The character height selected was 1.0 inches and

character width was selected at 1.0 inches. A 0.0 justification value plus 0

additional dots was selected for the data placement. ^KF activated Dark Print.

^B introduced the bar code command. Y selected the standard 10 cpi font to

print the optional readable data field. Letter H selected MSI bar code Type H,

which automatically appends two Mod 10 check digits to the bar code data.

87654321 is the bar code data, and ^G terminated the bar code command

sequence. ^KF^- at the end of the bar code sequence turned off Dark Print,

and ^PN^- terminated the graphics mode.

The following command generated the horizontal MSI bar code below using

OCR-B font and double the default ratio:

^PY^-^M10,10,000^KF^
