Printer User Manual

Option 50 (Bar Code Density)
You can apply this option to bar code fields when you want to
create custom densities. When you apply this option, it overrides
the density value in the bar code field. When using this option,
set the density parameter in your bar code field to the default
value. You can only use this option once for each bar code field.
This option overrides the density selected in the bar code field.
Bar codes produced using Option 50 may not be scannable.
Code 39, density 12, produces a one-dot narrow bar. This density
is intended for special U.S.P.S. ACT-tag applications only.
Synthetic supplies are recommended to produce scannable bar
codes.
The additional character gap, narrow space, and wide space
parameters are valid
only
with Code 39 and Codabar. If these
parameters are specified for any other bar codes, they will be
ignored by the printer. Do not use Option 50 with fixed density
bar codes.
