As stated in sect. 2.1.2.1.3 (page 19) the second character of the command string (given as b)
identifies the type of object used. For alphanumerical fields, it identifies the font, for bar codes it
identifies the type.
In particular, in the first case it will be a number between 0 and 9, in the second a letter from A to O
and from a to p.
