62 E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual
Values A through z select barcodes. Values A through T (uppercase) will print barcodes with
human-readable interpretations. Values a through z (lowercase), will print barcodes only.
Value W requires two additional characters to specify the Barcode/Font ID.
A font field value X selects a drawing object (line, box, circle or polygon), and field value Y is
used to print an image stored in a module.

c: Width Multiplier
Values 1-9 and A-O represent multiplication factors (base 25 numbers). For human-readable
fonts, the width multiplier represents the number of times the selected font dot tables are
multiplied and has no effect on the character height. For barcodes, this character specifies the
wide bar width or ratio. Values 1 through 9 and A through O will give a wide bar width of from
0.0033” (0.085mm) to 0.792” (2.011mm) at a resolution dependent upon the printer model. See
Appendix J.
d: Height Multiplier
The height multiplier has the same range and function as the width multiplier, but vertical. When
used in the context of barcodes, this field is the ratio denominator, or the small bar (module)
width. Values 1 through 9 and A through O will give a narrow bar width of one dot (dot size =
1/printhead resolution) to 24 dots. The narrow bar width resolution and range are dependent upon
the printhead resolution, see table below. A “dot multiplier” command can also be used to change
the printed dot size (see Label-Formatting Command ‘D’ and Appendix J).
eee: Bar Code Height (Font Size/Selection)
This field has interpretations dependent upon the value of the font b field, as shown below.
