In some EasyCoder printers, outline fonts in Speedo and TrueType
format can be scaled and converted to bitmap fonts.
By default, no barfont is selected. However, in some bar codes the
interpretation is an integrated part of the code, EAN/UPC.
The bar font(s) can also be specified in regard of:
• Distance Specifies the distance in dots between the
bottom of the bar pattern and the top of the
interpretation characters. Default: 6.
• Magnification (height) Specifies the magnification in regard of
height. Default: 1
• Magnification (width) Specifies the magnification in regard of
width. Default: 1
• ON Enables the printing of the interpretation.
Default: Disabled
BARFONT OFF
To disable bar code interpretation printing, use BARFONT OFF.
PRBAR (PB)
Input data to be used to generate the bar code can be entered in the
form of a numeric or expressions. String constants must be enclosed
by double quotation marks ("..."). Variables are useful for printing
e.g. time, date or various counters, and when the same information
is to appear in several places, e.g. both as plain text and as bar code
input data.
