s-parameter: Layout of the individual modules of the symbol and proportions in the symbol	56
1. Size relationship of one module in dots based on 600 dpi. Standard value is 3; values from 1 to 10 are permissible.	56
2. X-value for the proportion of the symbol. In the absence of this sub-parameter as well as of sub-parameter 3 mentioned below, the Barcode Flash solution prints a symbol with the proportion of 2 to 3 as standard. As the remaining rules for the layout of the symbol also apply, these values are always only approximations. The Barcode Flash solution always selects the most appropriate value here.	56
3. Y-value for the proportion of the symbol (cf. sub-parameter 2).	57
4. Width of a module in 1/100 inch; the standard value is 10.	57
