Variable Bar Codes allow the bar code for your application to print with
standard or user-defined ratios in vertical or horizontal orientations. Available
bar codes are: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128 with Subsets A, B, and
C, and Code EAN/UCC 128, EAN 8, EAN 13, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI, UPC-A,
UPC-E, POSTNET, PostBar, Royal Mail, and UPC Shipping. POSTNET is
available only in the horizontal direction. A dark print mode is included for
darker, high-contrast bar codes. The IBARC bar code command prints bar
codes in four orientations: horizontal, rotated 90, rotated 180, or rotated 270
degrees.
Expanded and Compressed Print draws attention where needed.
Alphanumeric height and width are controlled independently for a tremendous
range of character sizes up to 9.9 inches wide and tall. Several compressed
print sizes are available: 12, 13.33, 15, 17.65, and 20 cpi (characters per
inch), permitting up to 170 columns in an 8.5 inch printed area (20 cpi).
Rotated Alphanumerics permit new concepts in form design. Normal,
expanded, and compressed character strings can be rotated 90 degrees
clockwise, counterclockwise, or printed upside down.
Logos are easily created using alphanumeric commands and a variety of
print and shading features, providing a "customized" appearance for forms,
reports, and labels. The registered trademark, copyright, TUV, GS-Mark, UL,
and CSA symbols are provided as standard designs on the VGL, and you can
also define custom symbols.
Reverse and Shaded Print permit highlighting and contrasting by printing
white characters on a dark background or white characters on a gray, shaded
background. Various levels or patterns of gray shading and reverse printing
may combine with the many other print features to create distinctive designs.
Automatic Increment/Decrement Capability allows batch form processing.
Individual alphabetic, numeric, and bar code data fields can be identified and
automatically incremented or decremented by any amount, beginning from a
specified reference point.
Standard Character Sets provide you with many different character sets.
Based on the Multinational Character Set, you may create your own character
sets using characters defined and stored in flash memory.
