Bar Codes
NOTE: MULTIPLYING THE BARCODE GENERATED.
The barcode generated is based on a single dot width. For the barcode to be visible and
scan able, a reasonable multiplier MUST be used to allow the barcode to be read by a
scanner. Typical values for a multiplier are 8-10. This is accomplished in the LDS1 format
Where the 10,10 are specifying a 10x multiplication of the barcode.
8.1.19.1 Printing a Data Matrix
The ^D164 command instructs the printer to enter Data Matrix processing mode. The
formatting line must use a TCI value of 47 to print the Data Matrix symbol that has been
specified in the format being sent to the printer.
Height Parameter- 0
This parameter is used to set the height of the Data Matrix symbol. Zero entry will invoke
auto sizing.
Width Parameter- 0
This parameter is used to set the width of the Data Matrix symbol. Zero entry will invoke
auto sizing.
Rotation - 1
This parameter is used to control the rotation of the barcode.
0 = 0 degree rotation
1 = 180 degree rotation
2 = 90 degree rotation
3 = 270 degree rotation
