B

Bar Code Magnification

This command provides a mechanism to specify bar codes greater than 36 dots (0 - 9, A

- Z in the field record). The value is reset to 1 at the start of every label and stays
active for the entire label or set to a new value.

Syntax:

Bnn

Where:

nn

- Is a two digit decimal number indicating the

magnification value.

Sample:

L
D11
B01
1a9305000100030ABCD
B03
1a3105000700030ABCD
Q0001
E

The sample above instructs the printer to print two bar codes,
each 9 dots by 3 dots.





C

Set Column Offset Amount

This command allows horizontal adjustment of the point where printing begins. The
printer is instructed to print label formats nnnn units to the right of the position that the

format specifies. This feature is useful when a single format is to be printed on labels
containing preprinted information.

Syntax:

Cnnnn

Where:

nnnn

- Is a four-digit number for the column offset,

inches/100 or mm/10. The default is 0.

Sample:

L
C0050
141100001000100DATAMAX

The sample above shifts all format data 0.5 inches to the right,

unless the printer is in metric mode, (see Label Formatting
Command “m”).

If using preprinted labels where the placement of the preprint data varies from label to

label, the printed information may overlap the preprinted data.
