created and added by the printer. The overall Code 128 symbol
check character will be automatically created by the printer and

3. The automatically created human readable text will be created
according to the following rules:
• The spacing between the bar code and the text is fixed at 10
dots (.050 inches).
• If the width of the human readable text is wider than the bar
code, it will start at the same position as the bar code and
extend past the right of the bar code.
• If the width of the human readable text is less than the bar
code, it will be centered on the bar code.
• The automatically generated human readable font is OCR-B.
• If any part of the human readable text extends outside the
printable area, none of it will be printed. Care should be
exercised when placing the bar code to allow for any
automatically created human readable text.
