4.6.6.3 Embedded Bar Codes

Certain bar codes can be printed using various ratios and character spacing options. The

following table illustrates these options. See Chapter 8 for more detailed information on

designing label formats using bar code symbols. Some bar codes do not require a CGN

value and should be omitted by entering the comma delimiter.

For Example: If a TCI of 40 is selected the CGN will be omitted by entering nothing for the

CGN and surrounding the parameter with the comma delimiter.

1,200,200,10,40,,0,0,100,1

Table 4-7 CGN—Bar Code Symbologies

* These Symbols must use the CMX or CMY multipliers by 2 to produce an 80% ratio.

** The “FO” field represents the available Field Orientation or print rotation.

4.6.7 FO (Field Orientation)

This parameter defines the rotation of the format field on the label. The point of rotation is

determined from the Field Justification parameter.

0 0 degrees (normal rotation)

1 180 degrees (upside-down rotation)

2 270 degrees (right rotation)

3 90 degrees (left rotation)
