Comparing the two tables above there is a noticeable difference in the amount of data
saved by compressing the commands. In general, three bytes for each combined
command will be saved. This becomes significant with larger, more complex labels,
especially if the labels will be stored in the printer as macros.
Enable/Disable Barcode Autoprint
The following command will enable or disable human readable autoprint of the barcode
data:
<ESC>$b#A 0x1b 0x24 0x62 <0|1|2> 0x41
The command will affect only those barcodes with a human readable component. The
following arguments are valid:
0 – Disable human readable text
1 – Enable human readable text
2 – Enable human readable with checksum information
Note:
The autoprint field is considered part of the barcode object. It is implied that when
the height of the barcode is specified, the height of the autoprint is included in that
barcode height. For example, if a Code 3 of 9 barcode is selected with autoprint in the
normal orientation and has a height of 1 inch, the height is measured from the top of the
barcode to the baseline of the autoprint text.
