UPC/EAN Barcode HRI
Determines whether bar code HRI (human readable information) prints with
UPC and EAN bar codes.
•
On. (the default.) The printer always prints HRI with UPC and EAN bar
codes, regardless of the HRI flag contained in the IPDS bar code
application command.
•
Data Stream Setting. The printer uses the HRI flag in the IPDS bar code
application command to determine whether or not to print HRI with UPC
and EAN bar codes. See the 6400 IPDS Programmer's Reference
Manual for more information about IPDS bar code application commands.
Enhanced Bar Code Mode
The Enhanced Bar Code Mode option interweaves the dots in IPDS bar
codes so that more bar codes can be printed before the printer ribbon must be
replaced.
•
Disable. (the default.) Bar codes are printed in one of the standard
qualities, as determined by the Bar Code Quality option and IPDS
application commands.
•
Enable. Bar codes are printed in the enhanced mode.
Only certain bar code types, sizes, an orientations are supported in Enhanced
Bar Code Mode.
•
Only bar codes with a unit module width of 0.017 inches are supported in
Enhanced Bar Code Mode.
•
For non-rotated bar codes, all bar code types except Postnet and Royal
Mail are supported in Enhanced Bar Code Mode. Enhanced bar codes
printed in these orientations will print at approximately the same speed as
standard high quality bar codes.
•
For rotated bar codes, all bar code types except Postnet, Royal Mail,
UPC, EAN, and Code 128 are supported in Enhanced Bar Code Mode.
Enhanced bar codes printed in these orientations will print slower than
standard high quality bar codes.
NOTE: Bar codes that are printed in Enhanced Bar Code Mode that are not
supported in this mode will print in standard high quality.
Compressed Font
The Compressed Font option allows the printer to print vertically compressed
(short) fonts available on the IBM 4234 IPDS printer.
•
Disable. (the default.) Normal size fonts are substituted whenever
compressed fonts are requested.
•
Enable. Compressed fonts are printed when requested by IPDS
application commands. See the 6400 IPDS Programmer's Reference
Manual for more information about selecting these fonts with application
commands.
