#<ncon> is, optionally, the start parameter in the syntax above.
<sexp
1
> is the name of the font selected for bar code interpretations.
<nexp
1
> is the height in points of the font.
<nexp
2
> is the clockwise slant in degrees (0-90°).
<nexp
3
> is the distance in dots between bar code and bar font.
<nexp
4
> is the magnifi cation in regard of height (1-4).
<nexp
5
> is the magnifi cation in regard of width (1-4).
<nexp
6
> is the width enlargement in percent relative the height (1-1000).
Default: 100. Does not work with bitmap fonts.
ON optionally enables the printing of bar code interpretation.
Reset to default by: PRINTFEED execution.
Remarks
Start Parameter:
The start parameter specifi es which parameter in the syntax above should
be the fi rst parameter in the statement. Thereby you may bypass some
of the initial parameters.
Default value: #1
Font Name:
This parameter corresponds to the FONT statement, but will only affect bar
code interpretation. Double-byte fonts cannot be used.
Default : Swiss 721 BT
Font Size:
This parameter corresponds to the FONT statement, but will only affect
bar code interpretation. The size is specifi ed in points. (1 point = 1/72
inch ≈ 0.352 mm.)
Default : 12
Font Slant:
This parameter corresponds to the FONT statement, but will only affect
bar code interpretation. Slanting increases clockwise. Values greater that
65-70° will be unreadable.
Default : 0
Vertical Offset:
The distance between the bottom of the bar code pattern and the top of the
character cell is given as a number of dots.
Default value: 6
Magnifi cation:
Two parameters allows you to specify the magnifi cation separately in regard
of height and width (corresponding to MAG statement). Note that if a MAG
statement is executed after a BARFONT statement, the size of the barfont
will be affected by the MAG statement.
Default value for both parameters: 1
