(3) Intercharacter Gap
Intercharacter gap is the space between two adjacent barcode characters in a discrete barcode.
To specify and enable intercharacter gap, insert Character Pitch <P> right before barcode
specification such as <B>, <D> and <BD> or Print of Barcode with Registered Ratio <BW>. If not,
initial value (2 dots) will be set.
Intercharacter gap is designable for the following barcodes.
- NW-7
- CODE39
- Industrial 2of5
- Matrix 2of5
Intercharacter gap is the multiplier of values specified with Character Pitch <P> and narrow bar
width.
e.g.)
When Character Pitch <P> is 3 and narrow bar width is 2 dots: Intercharacter gap = 3 x 2 = 6
