Notes:
* When m = 1, human readable flag is always ignored, and its character is not printed.
In case of "Post-Net", this value only affects bar-width and does not affect bar-pitch.
When m = 1, the barcode prints by 1/360 or 1/240 full dot method. For all other values, the barcode prints by half dot method.
Module width values are nominal values.
