Intermec Fingerprint 6.13 – Programmer's Guide
As standard, Intermec Fingerprint supports more than 30 of the
most common bar code symbologies. Other two-dimensional bar
codes and dot codes like PDF417, USD5, MaxiCode, and LEB are
available as options. Each bar code (optionally including its human
readable interpretation) makes up a bar code field.
In addition to the standard positioning statements PRPOS, ALIGN
and DIR, a bar code field can contain the following instructions:
BARSET
This statement species the type of bar code and how it will be printed
and can, if so desired, replace the following statements:
BARHEIGHT (BH) Height of the bars in the code
BARRATIO (BR) Ratio between wide and narrow bars
BARTYPE (BT) Bar code type
BARMAG (BM) Enlargement
The BARSET statement contains optional parameters for specifying
complex 2-dimensional bar or dot codes, e.g. PDF417 (see Inter-
mec Fingerprint Reference Manual).
For common one-dimensional bar codes the following parameters
should be included in the statement:
• Bar code type Name must be given according to list in
chapter Appendix A.1 and be enclosed by
double quotation marks ("...").
Default: "INT2OF5"
• Ratio (wide bars) Default: 3
• Ratio (narrow bars) Default: 1
• Enlargement Affects the bar pattern but not the inter-
pretation, unless the bar font is an inte-
grated part of the code, e.g. EAN/UPC.
Default: 2
• Height Height of the bars in dots.
Default: 100.
BARFONT...ON
Specifies the bitmap font or fonts to be used for the bar code
interpretation (human readables). You can e.g. specify one barfont
for printing across the web (DIR 1 & 3) and another for printing
along the web (DIR 2 & 4).
Optionally, the extension can be included in the barfont name. If so,
the extension of the selected barfont must match the print direction:
Extension .1 matches DIR 1 and DIR 3
Extension .2 matches DIR 2 and DIR 4
If no extension is specified in the font name, the firmware automati-
cally selects the barfont according to the selected direction.
