    Many IPDS commands contain parameters that specify values for position or size in units. For example, one unit may equal approximately 0.018 mm (0.007 in. [1/144 in.]). Before using these values, the S828 Printer truncates the specified values to multiples of 0.18 mm (0.0007 in. [1/1440 in.]) for all unit parameters except those associated with DP, and DP Text baseline positioning.

For the S828 IPDS Printer, the mixing rule for overwritten data within a given block of image, graphics, or bar code data is quite simple: background pels are transparent; foreground pels are opaque. Thus, background pels always show through what is underneath (what was received earlier), while foreground pels cover it up.

    Keep the following statements in mind when printing bar codes. ● All bar codes printed by the S828 Printer can print in high-contrast mode. Not all of them, however, can print in low-contrast mode. If you specify low-contrast mode for a bar code that is not supported in that mode, the printer will not return an error but will default to high-contrast mode instead.
