You can apply this option to bar code fields when you want to create custom
densities. When you apply this option, it overrides the density value in the
bar code field. When using this option, set the density parameter in your
bar code field to the default value. You can only use this option once for
each bar code field.

Bar codes produced using Option 50 may not be scannable. Code 39,
density 12, produces a one-dot narrow bar. This density is intended for
special U.S.P.S. ACT-tag applications only. Synthetic supplies are
recommended to produce scannable bar codes.

The additional character gap, narrow space, and wide space parameters are
valid only with Code 39 and Codabar. If these parameters are specified for
any other bar codes, they will be ignored by the printer. Do not use Option
50 with fixed density bar codes.

Option 50 can be used with PDF417 bar codes for specific customer ratios.
With PDF417 bar codes, use only the narrow and wide parameters. The
narrow parameter defines the individual bar width in dots and the wide
parameter is used to define the height of each individual stacked bar code.
Option 50 can also be used with Option 52 to further customize the
dimensions of a PDF417 bar code. Option 52 allows customization of the
number of columns or number of rows for the bar code.
