11. Decide how tall you want the bar code to be. Enter the bar
code height, in your selected units, in box B9.
Here are the
minimum
recommended heights for bar
codes:
English 20
Metric 51
Dots 39
12. If you use UPC or EAN bar codes, decide how you want
human readable characters to appear. Write 1, 5, 6, 7, or
8 in box B10.
1 No check digit
or number system
5 Number system at
bottom, no check digit
6 Check digit at bottom,
no number system
7 Check digit and number
system at bottom
8 No text, bar code only
For all other bar codes, enter 8 in box B10.
NOTE: If you are using 1.2" wide supplies and printing
UPCA or EAN13 bar codes using option 7 in box
B10, the printer may omit the check digit
character because the supply may be too narrow.
To print the check digit character on the label:
• Use option 5 in box B10 of the bar code field.
• Define a one-character field of reduced font and add
Option 4 to copy the check digit from the corresponding
bar code field.
• Position the check digit field so it fits on the label.
