Bar Codes

LOC

Optional parameter to identify the location of the

printable data field. The default value is B, locating the

human readable data below the bar code. A locates the

printable data field above bar code.

To compensate for printing the 0.1–inch high data, the

height of the bar code body is reduced 0.1–inch.

FONT

Optional parameter to select the font for the human

readable data field. The default value, N, selects the

normal ASCII 10 cpi font. Enter O to select the

OCR–A 10 cpi font; enter X to select the OCR–B type

font.

STOP

Ends the Bar Code command while the IGP/PGL

continues in the Create Form Mode. Enter STOP. If

STOP is not entered, an error message results.
