Option 50 (Bar Code Density) ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
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.
This option overrides the density selected in the bar code
field. Do not use this option with POSTNET or Maxicode bar
codes. If you use this option with a bar code that contains
only narrow elements, set the wide element equal to the
narrow element. (I 2 of 5, Code 39, Codabar, and MSI bar
codes have both narrow and wide elements.)
Example R,50,4,8,5,1,1
p
Syntax R,50,narrow,wide,gap,nar_space,wide_space
p
R1. R Indicates option header.
R2. 50 Indicates Option 50.
R3. narrow Dot width of the narrow element. (Code 39 and Codabar
only.) Enter a value of 2-99.
R4. wide Dot width of the wide element. (Code 39 and Codabar
only.) Enter a value of 2-99. For PDF417 bar codes, this
will be the height of each element (or row).
R5. gap Additional dot width between characters. Enter a value of
1 to 99 in printer dots.
R6. nar_space Additional dot width of the narrow bar code space. (Code
39 and Codabar only.) Enter a value of 1 to 99 in printer
dots.
R7. wide_space Additional dot width of the wide bar code space. (Code
39 and Codabar only.)
NOTE: Pitney Bowes recommends using only the
densities specified in the bar code density table
in Chapter 1, "Designing a Format," because the
bar codes produced using Option 50 may not be
scannable. 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.
