POSTNET, PDF417, and MaxiCode bar codes have a fixed
height. Always use
0
for these bar codes.
For Data Matrix and QR Code, the printer determines the size
of the symbol, but the user’s scanner determines the
functional size (minimum height) of the symbol. Small Data
Matrix and QR Codes may not be scannable. The Data Matrix
and QR Code’s height depends on the number entered for this
parameter. For example, if you select 80, the symbol could be
smaller than 0.80," but it will not be greater than the amount
specified in this parameter. The symbol arranges the data
according to rows and columns within the specified height.
NOTE:
If using the optional verifier, allow the following
minimum bar code heights: 0.35" (English) for 4.0
ips; 0.50" (English) for 6.0 ips; 0.70" (English) for 8.0
ips; 0.95" (English) for 10.0 ips.
