size = Standard Codesize. Defines the height and width of the bars in a
barcode. Height and narrow element is defined for ratio oriented
barcodes. For EAN, JAN or UPC it is also possible to define the
standard code size which is expressed through „SCx". The
height calculation includes the human readable characters if
enabled.
Unified barcode sizes of EAN and UPCbarcodes. Sets the size
of the barcode to a defined standard code size.
x is a numeric value (0-9) and the possible barcode size
depends on the printer´s resolution. Used instead of height and
ne (narrow element)
height = Defines the barcode height in the pre selected measurement -
millimeters or inches. A-series printers will print a grey
rastered field if the barcode does not fit including the white
space area on the label.
ne = narrow element
the barcode. The input is in millimeters or inches. The narrow
element (ne) size depends on the printer´s
is the smallest possible element - therefor it depends on the
printhead resolution-how big or how small the thinnest line can
be printed. (it is not possible to print a „half" dot )
ratio = The ratio between narrow and wide bars. (i.e. 3:1 means that
the widebar is three times the width of the small bar)
text = contains the barcode data to be encoded in a barcode.
Depending on the selected barcode type. Different rules are
used for different barcodes. Some barcodes allow only
characters, some others have a fixed length etc. More
information can be found at the samples of each barcode.
Defines the width of the smallest element of
100
resolution. One dot
