To set up the BAR parameter, use the

%CONFIG command in your

document. To print bar codes, bar code commands may be included

anywhere in your documents. They begin with ‘percent-slash’ (

%/)

followed by the word BAR. Then follows the number of the bar code

definition to be used, a comma, and the sequence to be printed. The

command is ended by a semi-colon (;).

Example 1:

Setting up the bar code parameters and printing bar codes

Example 2:

Once the BAR parameter has been set up, you will only need to use

the bar code commands to print the bar codes.
