Table 8-5: Bar Code Height Field Interpretations
ffff
:
Row Position
The lower left corner of a label is considered the “home position” (see Figure 8-1). The row
position field is a vertical coordinate that determines how far above the home position the data is to
be printed. Field data is interpreted in hundredths of an inch or tenths of millimeters.
gggg
:
Column Position
This field is a horizontal coordinate that determines how far to the right of “home position” the
data will be printed. Appendix G lists the maximum values of the gggg field.

Optional Scalable Font Height
The height of a scalable font can be specified in two ways: points or dots. To specify the height in
points the first character of the field is a ‘P’ followed by the number of points, 004 to 999. To
specify the size in dots, all four characters must be numeric. This field must be specified for
scalable fonts. (See note below Optional Scalable Font Width.)

:
Optional Scalable Font Width
The width of a scalable font can be specified in two ways, points or dots. To specify the width in
points, the first character of the field is a ‘P’ followed by the number of points, 004 to 999 points.
To specify the size in dots, all four characters must be numeric. This field must be specified for
scalable fonts. See note below.
Note: To ensure that the data stream is portable to different Datamax-O’Neil printers, specify the font
size in points. If the font is specified in dots, it will output differently on printers with different
DPI/MMPI resolutions. There are 72.307 points per 1 inch (2.847 mm).
