Embedded Bar Codes

Certain bar codes can be printed using various ratios and character spacing options. The
following table illustrates these options. See Chapter 8 for more detailed information on
designing label formats using bar code symbols. Some bar codes do not require a CGN
value and should be omitted by entering the comma delimiter.
For Example: If a TCI of 40 is selected the CGN will be omitted by entering nothing for the
CGN and surrounding the parameter with the comma delimiter.
