POSTNET, PDF417, and MaxiCode bar codes have a fixed
height. Always use
0
for these bar codes.
For Data Matrix bar codes, the printer determines the size of
the symbol, but the user’s scanner determines the functional
size (minimum height) of the symbol. Small Data Matrix
symbols may not be scannable. The Data Matrix symbol’s
height depends on the number entered for this parameter. For
example, if you select an 80 by 80 Data Matrix symbol, with a
height of 100 (one inch), the symbol could be as small as
0.80" or as large as 1.0". It will not be greater than the
amount specified in this parameter. The symbol arranges the
data according to rows and columns within the specified
height.
NOTE:
If using the optional verifier, allow the following
minimum bar code heights: 0.35" (English) for 4.0
ips; 0.50" (English) for 6.0 ips; 0.70" (English) for 8.0
ips; 0.95" (English) for 10.0 ips.
