Bar code interpretation
The printer will automatically print a human-readable text line below the bar code if it has
been configured to do so. (The command is described in section - Printer configuration -). This
can be done individually for each bar code in a label layout. The command to enable human-
readable text is:
!Y42 1
and to disable:
!Y42 0
Example:
!Y42 0
!F C S 50 800 L 100 3 1 “%1V“
!Y42 1
!F C S 200 800 L 100 3 33 “%1V“
Defining a 2D barcode field
A two-dimensional (2D) code is normally a matrix code or a stacked barcode. Labelpoint
supports a number of 2D codes.
Syntax
!F C
[o] <“text“>
Note! Parameters enclosed in <> are required and parameters enclosed in [ ] are
optional.
The parameters have the following meaning:

/
10
mm
The alignment relative to the position. One upper-case character.
L = left end of the field aligned at p.
R = right end of the field aligned at p.
C = the field is centred around p.
The height of the bars of the code in
1
/
10
mm, or height expansion of the pixels, 1 –
16.
The width of the bars of the code in
1
/
10
mm, orwidth expansion of the pixels, 1 –
