Option 50 (Bar Code Density) - Paxar TC6037PR Reference Manual

Example
Uses a price field that prints the monetary symbol and notations as defined
in the monetary formatting packet.
O p t i o n 5 0 ( B a r C o d e D e n s i t y )
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.
Do not use Option 50 with UPC or EAN bar codes. 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. 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.
