Postnet (ZIP)
Postnet (ZIP) is a barcode represented as postal code for the United States (ZIP code).

The check digit is modulus 10. Postnet font consists of numerals (ASCII) contained within

Framebars (*: Hex2A and }: Hex7C).

Codabar (NW-7)
Codabar (NW-7) is a barcode represented in numerals and symbols ($, +, -, ., /.). Most

standards do not define a check digit. Codabar is defined with ASCII code that includes

numerals, symbols and Start/Stop characters (A, B, C, D).

MSI Plessy
MSI Plessy is a numeric barcode. It is framed by a Start, numeral, check digit, Stop

pattern and has a modulus 10 check digit. MSI Plessy fonts are 0 to 9 ASCII code with

Start (<:Hex3C) and Stop(>:Hex3E) characters.

Barcode/OCR Font Calling and Available Parameters

Parameters

„

Parameters v, b and s are available as options for Barcode control. Operate these

parameters using a different interpretation than the general PCL5 only if the

T-parameter (Typeface number) shows the Barcode.

The v-parameter assigns the font height. The b-parameter changes the stroke weight

(width) of the bars. The s-parameter changes the width of the open space between bars.

Example. <ESC>(s16v4b4s24670T

Numeric values for each parameter can be omitted. If omitted, use the default numeric

value.

Changing the b and s-parameters does not change OCR-A, OCR-B, MSI Plessy and

PostNet. Also, for PostNet, assigning the v-parameter does not change the height. For

Barcode fonts, parameters p and h are disregarded. For the OCR font, the p-parameter is

disregarded and the h-parameter is always interpreted as 10.

Typeface Number

„

In the barcode, a pattern for the required Bar to express a specific barcode standard is

assigned to the character code. If the Bar pattern within the font is the same pattern

as another Barcode standard, even if the Typeface number of a certain barcode is not

supported, the Typeface number of the Bar that is not supported can be displayed by

using the Typeface number that is supported.

For example, the UPC-A for Typeface number 24600 can display UPC-E. In many cases,

one Barcode font supports two or more Typeface numbers.
