Human-Readable Fields

Bar Code Fields

Intermec Printer Language (IPL) Developer's Guide
Human-readable fields contain information or data that is printed in one of
the printer's internal fonts, or in a user-defined font. Available fonts depend
on your printer. Internal fonts on your printer include:
• Standard bitmap fonts measured in dots
• Bitmap fonts recognized by optical character recognition (OCR)
applications
• Bitmap fonts measured in point sizes
• Bitmap monospaced fonts
• Outline fonts
Font character size can be changed by using the width and height
magnification commands, or with the pitch and point-size commands. The
fonts themselves remain unchanged. See Appendix B, "Character Sets," for
the complete character set for each font.
Intermec printers support nine different international character sets for
each command set mode. The printer may also contain character sets for
IBM translation and code pages.
Note: In Emulation mode, international character substitution is
compatible with Intermec 8336/8646 printers. In Advanced mode, the
substitution complies with ISO standards.
Bar code fields include data and information to be printed in a specific
symbology. Intermec printers support these symbologies:
Aztec Code 128
Codabar Data Matrix
Code 2 of 5 EAN.UCC Composite Planet
Code 11 HIBC Code 128
Code 16K Interleaved 2 of 5
Code 39 ISBT 128
Code 49 JIS-ITF
Code 93 Maxicode
Bar code fields can be accompanied by an interpretive field, which shows
the bar code data in readable characters.
You can use IPL commands to define the height and width magnification
of bar code fields, set the data source for each field, change the physical
orientation of fields, and to enable or disable the interpretive field.
