UPC and EAN
For UPC and EAN bar codes, a smaller Letter Gothic font will be substituted
for OCR-A or OCR-B when the bar code symbol is not large enough to
accommodate a 10 CPI font.
Other Bar Codes
For all other bar codes, OCR-A and OCR-B will print at 10 CPI. If necessary,
when using the Normal font, the PDF will be automatically sized to fit the
length of the bar code symbol.
