User`s manual

A command error condition occurs when image
data extends beyond the addressable range of the
image buffer. The bar code and text fields must re
-
main within the addressable area of the image
buffer. Each one of the bar codes, described in the
Command B and Appendix A, have a formula to
determine a bar code length.
Selecting a larger bar code width multiplier and a
higher ratio of the narrow to wide bars (and spaces
where applicable), improves the general readability
of a given bar code. Additionally, for a given bar
code, wider bars and spaces increase the depth of
field for improved performance with moving-beam
lasers and other non-contact scanning devices .
Control Commands The card printer can perform a variety of print, card,
ribbon, and head movement and control command
operations.
