Menu. This option allows you to determine whether your bar code(s) will be printed together
with human readable text. (Toggles ON and OFF). All bar code human readable text will
print at a font size of 2 (5 point), regardless of bar height chosen.
Rotation: This option, located on the Setup sub-menu named "Style", allows you to set the
rotation of your bar code(s) in one of four orientations (0E, 90E, 180E , 270E). This will
