A–4 Bar Codes

Default value = 10 pixels = 12 decipoints

Minimum value = 9 pixels = 11 decipoints

This does not apply to all UPC, EAN, and Postnet bar codes.

• P3 sets the width for the quiet zone. The printer’s quiet zone is a

constant pixel value of 150 pixels (180 decipoints) or ten times the

narrow bar, whichever is greater.

This does not apply to all UPC, EAN, and Postnet bar codes.

• P4 sets the width of the wide bars and wide spaces in units specified by

the SSU code.

Default value = 2.5 times the value of P2

Minimum value = 2.4 times the narrow bar when the narrow bar is

less than or equal to twelve pixels

This does not apply to all UPC, EAN, Code 11, Code 128, and

Postnet bar codes.

• P5 sets the intercharacter gap in units specified by the SSU code.

Default value = 136 pixels

This does not apply to the Interleaved 2 of 5 code, or to all UPC,

Code 128, EAN, and Postnet bar codes.

• P6 sets the height of bars in units specified by the SSU code.

Minimum value = 144 pixels = 173 decipoints

Default value = 300 pixels = 360 decipoints

• P7 defines the control character encoding character (CCEC). Any

character within a range of 2/0 through 7/15 indicates the start of control

character encoding. The CCEC is followed by a two–digit hexadecimal

number equal to the ASCII value of the character to be encoded. To bar

code the ESC character, enter the CCEC, then the ESC character’s

hexadecimal format. The default is P7 = 0.

Function

0/missing

No encoding of control characters

The decimal ASCII value representing the

control character encoding character.

This only applies to Extended Code 39.
