Postnet (ZIP) Postnet (ZIP) is a barcode represented as postal code for the United States (ZIP code). The check digit is modulus 10. Postnet font consists of numerals (ASCII) contained within Framebars (*: Hex2A and }: Hex7C). Codabar (NW-7) Codabar (NW-7) is a barcode represented in numerals and symbols Most standards do not define a check digit. Codabar is defined with ASCII code that includes numerals, symbols and Start/Stop characters (A, B, C, D). MSI Plessy MSI Plessy is a numeric barcode. It is framed by a Start, numeral, check digit, Stop pattern and has a modulus 10 check digit. MSI Plessy fonts are 0 to 9 ASCII code with Start (:Hex3E) characters.

About barcode and OCR fonts
Postnet (ZIP)
Postnet (ZIP) is a barcode represented as postal code for the United States (ZIP code).
The check digit is modulus 10. Postnet font consists of numerals (ASCII) contained within
Framebars (*: Hex2A and }: Hex7C).
Codabar (NW-7)
Codabar (NW-7) is a barcode represented in numerals and symbols ($, +, -, ., /.).
Most
standards do not define a check digit. Codabar is defined with ASCII code that includes
numerals, symbols and Start/Stop characters (A, B, C, D).
MSI Plessy
MSI Plessy is a numeric barcode. It is framed by a Start, numeral, check digit, Stop
pattern and has a modulus 10 check digit.
MSI Plessy fonts are 0 to 9 ASCII code with
Start (<:Hex3C) and Stop(>:Hex3E) characters.
Barcode / OCR font calling and available parameters
±
Parameters
Parameters v, b and s are available as options for Barcode control. Operate these
parameters using a different interpretation than the general PCL5 only if the
T-parameter (Typeface number) shows the Barcode.
The v-parameter assigns the font height. The b-parameter changes the stroke weight
(width) of the bars. The s-parameter changes the width of the open space between bars.
Example. <ESC>(s16v4b4s24670T
Numeric values for each parameter can be omitted. If omitted, use the default numeric
value.
Changing the b and s-parameters does not change OCR-A, OCR-B, MSI Plessy and
PostNet.
Also, for PostNet, assigning the v-parameter does not change the height.
For
Barcode fonts, parameters p and h are disregarded. For the OCR font, the p-parameter is
disregarded and the h-parameter is always interpreted as 10.
±
Typeface number
In the barcode, a pattern for the required Bar to express a specific barcode standard is
assigned to the character code.
If the Bar pattern within the font is the same pattern
as another Barcode standard, even if the Typeface number of a certain barcode is not
supported, the Typeface number of the Bar that is not supported can be displayed by
using the Typeface number that is supported.
For example, the UPC-A for Typeface number 24600 can display UPC-E. In many cases,
one Barcode font supports two or more Typeface numbers.
