Chapter 3 Bar Codes

PDF Optional parameter which affects printing of the

human readable data field. The data field will print

automatically unless the PDF-suppress command

is specified in the

FONT

parameter. UPC-E data

fields can be printed above or below the bar code

symbol. If the PDF is not entered in the UPC-E

command format, the data field automatically prints

in OCR-B.

LOC

Optional parameter to identify the location of the

printable data field. The default value is B, locating

the human readable data below the bar code. A

locates the printable data field above bar code. To

compensate for printing the 0.1-inch high data, the

height of the bar code body is reduced 0.1-inch.

FONT

Optional parameter to select the font for the human

readable data field. The default font type for UPC-A

bar codes is OCR-B; if no PDF command is

entered in the command format, the data field is

printed automatically in OCR-B. Entering X will also

designate the OCR-B type font. Enter N to select

the normal ASCII 10 cpi font; enter O to select the

OCR-A 10 cpi font. Enter P to select 12 cpi. Enter Q

to select 13 cpi. Enter R to selct 15 cpi. Enter T to

select 17 cpi. Enter V to select 20 cpi. Enter S to

suppress printing the data field and the trailing

lower portions of the UPC bar code.

STOP Ends the Bar Code command while the IGP/PGL

continues in the Create Form mode. Enter STOP. If

STOP is not entered, an error message results.
