Pass Width
This function changes the width of block characters within a Graphics Box.
Command ^Wxx
Arguments
^W Pass Width Command
xx New window width in increments of 0.1 inches
(0.25 cm) from 01 to 99. The actual width ranges
from 0.1 to 9.9 inches (0.25 to 25.2 cm).
Example: The Graphics Pass, ^M0404000GRA ^W02PHIC^- prints:
^M Horizontal orientation of characters.
04 Window height of 0.4 inches (1.02 cm).
04 Window width of 0.4 inches (1.02 cm).
00 No justification down.
0 No additional dot row justification down.
GRA Data to be printed at 0.4 inches (1.02 cm) high.
^W Indicates a change in character width.
02 New character height of 0.2 inches (0.51 cm).
PHIC Data to be printed at 0.2 inches (0.51 cm) high.
Pass Density
This function changes the density (dots per inch or DPI) of barcodes and
block characters. The density of lines and boxes is not changed by this
command. The Pass Density command may be issued either inside or outside
a Graphics Pass and remains in effect until another Pass Density command
occurs or Graphics Mode is exited.
The default printing density is 60x72 DPI (60 DPI horizontally by 72 DPI
vertically). The most common use of the ^~D command is to set the horizontal
density to 70 DPI to decrease barcode size. Pass density is inversely
proportional to size (higher density = smaller size). For example, a 2x
increase in density results in a 2x size reduction.
Command ^~Dhhhvvv
Arguments
^~D Pass Density Command
hhh The horizontal density in dots per inch. The
allowable range is from 040 to 240.
