Normally, barcodes print at 60 DPI horizontally. For improved readability, they
may also print at 120 DPI. The 120 DPI, High Density Mode can be toggled
ON and OFF by the command:
Command KF

^M0505000^KF^IBARC,C39,B,MAU THE CAT^G^KF prints:
^KF first turns the High Density mode for barcodes ON, then the barcode is
printed. The second ^KF turns High Density Mode OFF.
NOTE: Darkbar Control Panel settings overrides ^KF if Darkbar is ON.
