Purpose: Demonstrate how to print a bar code. This example builds on the previous example by
placing a bar code near the center of the label.

Moveto - Position the drawing cursor at the desired location

Position cursor at desired location for bar code.

(BARCODE123) – String object defining the barcode content.

The parentheses delimit the text string and are not part of the barcode. The actual bar code value
in this case is BARCODE123, i.e. parentheses not included.

_barcode – Place the specified bar code on the label

The type of bar code is referenced by a ‘/’ followed by the name of the bar code type. For a list of
supported bar codes, see
Table 2.
