A–31Bar Codes
Vertical Spacing Between Horizontal Bar Codes
The vertical limit is equal to the maximum allowable height for a bar code
symbol: 10 inches. If the human–readable line is printed, then a 0.1 inch gap
plus character size is added to compute a total vertical distance.
If the human–readable line is printed, a space the size of the intercharacter
gap exists between the human–readable line and the top of the bar code
symbol on the next line, plus any linefeeds you have specified.
If there is no human–readable line, the vertical spacing is dependent on the
user for how many linefeeds have been specified.
Vertical Bar Codes (90 and 270 Degree Rotation)
The width of the rotated bar code is close in size to the height of the original
horizontal bar code (they are not quite the same since the density changes). If
the human–readable line is printed, it is accounted for in the total horizontal
distance travelled.
The vertical height of the rotated bar code includes the 0.25 inch leading
space, the light and dark bars the comprise the bar code symbol, and the 0.25
inch trailing space.
Vertical bar codes are printed with a horizontal density of 100 DPI and a
vertical density of 100 DPI.
Horizontal Spacing Between Vertical Bar Codes
The horizontal limit is the width of the paper (or 13.2 inches). The following
equation applies with rotated bar codes, where N equals the number of bar
code symbols to be printed and HEIGHT equals the height parameter entered
for the original bar code:
(N)*(HEIGHT) + any spacing between two or more symbols must be less
than or equal to 13.2 inches
Ensure proper horizontal spacing between two vertical bar codes. Note that
the leading and trailing spaces rotate with the vertical bar codes.
The space character (20H) and the horizontal tab character (09H) produce the
white spaces horizontally across the page, just as they do for the horizontal
bar codes. The comma delimiter does not separate bar code symbols on the
