BarDIMM Pro is an intelligent technology adding sophisticated BARCODE printing
capabilities to PCL5 printers. The only real fonts it includes are the fonts of the now
discontinued "Barcode&More" font cartridge from HP, which have been included for
backward compatibility purpose, the scalable logos and the scalable OCR-B (ASCII set) as
stand-alone font and font-for-barcode-text. BarDIMM Pro also features the unique
FREESCAPE capability to print PCL commands from non binary systems.
BarDIMM Pro and BarDIMM Box support more than 65 bar code formats (symbologies)
in its version 3.3, from the most passive to the most complex system (2D, interleaved,
triple checksum, etc...).
Each of these formats can be declined in any height from 1/254 inch to 13 inches (1mm to
33 cm) with 1/72 inch increment, bar widths can be defined in 1/600 inch units, code value
can be printed as text together with code in many different embeddings with 20 different
scalable fonts. As a result, you can generate million different kind of bar code formats
from BarDIMM!
BarDIMM is not made of scalable fonts. It has font numbers within the PCL5 language.
Typeface numbers from 24580 to 24900 activate the BarDIMM intelligence. All data
mapped to one of those special fonts is analyzed and converted into bar code directly by
the firmware.
For backward compatibility, BarDIMM also contains the HP Barcode & More bitmap
barcode fonts supported by many applications.
NOTE: In this manual, the escape code is indicated as <Esc>. Those five characters must
not be entered as individual symbols, but must be replaced with the unique character of
ASCII value 27.
Important note: The BarDIMM language has been entirely invented by Jetmobile, is
not owned by hp, benefits from a legal deposit, is not part of PCL5 and is copyrighted.
This means cannot be reproduced or interpreted without a proper license agreement.
