Appendix B Working with Fonts

EPSON Code39
❏
Four Code39 fonts are available, allowing you to enable and
disable the automatic insertion of check digits and OCR-B.
❏
The height of the barcode is automatically adjusted to 15% or
more of its total length, in conformance to the Code39
standard. For this reason, it is important to keep at least one
space between the barcode and the surrounding text to
prevent overlapping.
❏
Spaces in Code39 barcodes should be input as “_” underbars.
❏
When printing two or more barcodes on one line, separate the
barcodes with a tab, or select a font other than a BarCode Font
and input the space. If a space is input while a Code39 font is
selected, the barcode will not be correct.
The following codes are inserted automatically and need not be
input by hand:
❏
Left/right quiet zone

Check digit
