BARFONT (BF), cont'd.
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Remarks, cont'd. Magnification:
The bar code font can be magnified up to 4 times in regard of height and/or
width. The two last parameters allows you to specify the magnification
separately in regard of height and width (corresponding to MAG statement).
Note that if a MAG statement is executed after a BARFONT statement, the
size of the barfont will be affected by the MAG statement.
Default value for both parameters: 1
Width:
A scalable font can enlarged in regard of width relative the height. The value
is given as percent (1–1000). This means that if the value is 100, there is no
change in the appearance of the characters, whereas if the value is gives as e.g.
50 or 200, the width will he half the height or double the height respectively.
When using this parameter, all parameters in the syntax must be included in
the sattement, i.e. name, height, slant, and width.
Enabling Interpretation Printing:
The printing of bar code interpretation can enabled by a trailing ON, which
corresponds to a BARFONT ON statement.
Exceptions:
Note that in all EAN and UPC bar codes, the interpretation is an integrated
part of the code. Such an interpretation is not affected by a BARFONT
statement, but will be printed in according to specification, provided that
interpretation printing has been enabled by a BARFONT ON statement.
Certain bar codes, like Code 16K, cannot contain any interpretation at all. In
such a case, the selected barfont will be ignored.
Example Programming a Code 39 bar code, selecting the same barfont for all
directions and enabling the printing of the bar code interpretation can be
done this way:
10 PRPOS 30,400
20 DIR 1
30 ALIGN 7
40 BARSET "CODE39",2,1,3,120
50 BARFONT "Swiss 721 BT",10,8,5,1,1,100 ON
60 PRBAR "ABC"
70 PRINTFEED
80 END
