1. UPC and EAN bar codes are not affected by the different types of narrow to
wide ratios. Instead, the <ESC>D command adds descender bars to these
codes where needed to meet UPC specifications. The <ESC>BD command
puts descender bars and human readable text below the symbol.
2. The Code 128, UCC 128, MSI, and Code 93 bar codes are not affected by the
narrow to wide ratios.
3. The Codabar, Code 39, Industrial 2 of 5, and Matrix 2 of 5 bar codes are
affected by the Character Pitch command. This command must be placed
before the Bar Code command.
4. See Appendix B for more specific instructions and detailed information
regarding individual bar code symbols.
5. Because of their unique characteristics, two-dimensional symbols are covered
separately (see page 4-99).
6. For UCC128, the FNC1 code is automatically inserted and the Mod 10 and
Mod 103 check digits are automatically calculated.
7. For the MSI bar code, the check digit is not automatically calculated.
