Group 8
There are three basic <Styles> and one user defined <Style> available (9). With default
settings the bars and spaces become wider with an increasing <Element> number. E.g.
with the basic <Style> <Fine> the bars and spaces of <Elem.1> consist of one stroke
and the bars and spaces of <Elem. 4> consist of 4 strokes. Therefore <Elem. 4> has
four times the width of <Elem. 1>.
Each style provides different widths.
The <Character Space (ICG> option (7) has only an effect on discrete bar codes like code
39. With discrete barcodes an increase of the <Character Space (ICG> value will lead to
larger spaces between single characters.
Codes without inter character gaps are called linear codes. Linear codes are those in
which characters are grouped, one next to another, in one linear direction.
On these codes the <Character Space (ICG)> setting has no effects.

The <Middle> <Style> has the
double width of the <Fine>
<Style> and the <Large> <Style>
has three times the width of the
<Fine> <Style>.
With the <User define> <Style> a
customized setting is possible
without changing the three pre-
sets.
When a preset <Style> is changed
the <User define> <Style> will be
automatically selected.
With a discrete bar code characters begin
and end with a bar. This construction creates
spaces between characters that are not part
of a character. This inter character gap
should be approximately equal to the narrow
bar width. Codes with this inter character gap
are called discrete since each character is
separate and independent from other
characters in the same symbol.
With a <Character Space (ICG)> of 0 there
are no distance between the coded
characters. With an <Character Space
(ICG)> of 10 all coded characters are clearly
separated. The <Character Space (ICG)>
value represents the number of dots between
each character.
