8.2 Bar Code Rotation
When 0 and 180 degree bar codes are X multiplied (CMX), the space between characters is
also multiplied by the printer internally to maintain the correct ratio. When multiplying bar
codes use the default value for the spacing element (SP) in the field format parameters. On
some bar codes that allow spacing to be adjusted, spacing may be increased from the
default and not reduced to a smaller spacing.
When 0 and 180 degree bar codes are Y multiplied (CMY), the result is the actual height of
the bar code in thermal dots. If the Y multiplier (CMY) is not multiplied, a bar code with a
vertical length of one dot would be produced. For example: If a one inch high bar code is
desired using a 300 dpi print head, 300 should be inserted for the CMY value.
When 90 and 270 degree, ladder or vertical, bar codes are X multiplied (CMX), the result is
the actual width of the bar code in thermal dots. If the X multiplier (CMX) is not multiplied, a
bar code with a horizontal length of one dot would be produced. For example: If a one inch
wide bar code is desired using a 300 dpi print head, 300 should be inserted for the CMX
value.
