Font Parameters
This section describes the parameters for creating the fonts used in bar codes.
NOTE
•
Values cannot have decimals. For example, "2.5" is an invalid value.
•
Bar code parameters must be combined in a unique PCL escape sequence ending with the T
parameter.
Example: <Esc>(s4p305h24v7,21s7,21b24670T
•
When using default parameters, only commas are required if other parameters still need to be
defined.
Example: <Esc>(s6p1,,,5s24850T
