Mixing Bar Codes and Text
By combining the capabilities of text mode and bar code mode, it is possible to print
text above, below, and along side bar codes.
Example:
To print a human-readable interpretation beneath a bar code. The characters
“0123456789” are encoded in the following Code 39 standard density LOGMAR bar
code.
This bar code and interpretation was printed by first entering bar code mode and
printing the bar code. While still in bar code mode, a relative vertical tab was done to
space 0.1 inch below the bar code.
^H05^BNd0123456789^G^-^J010
Then, after returning from bar code mode to text mode, the character string
0123456789” was printed.
Example:
To print text along side a bar code.
To print this bar code and text, all text was first printed:
“Text to left Text to right”
“of bar code. of bar code.”
While still in text mode, reverse paper motion was done to step back above the
printed text. The bar code was then printed in bar code mode.
