EPSON Codabar
Four Codabar fonts are available, allowing you to enable and
disable the automatic insertion of check digits and OCR-B.
The height of the barcode is automatically adjusted to 15% or
more of its total length, in conformance to the Codabar
standard. For this reason, it is important to keep at least one
space between the barcode and the surrounding text to
prevent overlapping.
When either a Start or a Stop character is input, Codabar fonts
automatically insert the complimentary character.
If neither a Start nor a Stop character is input, these characters
are automatically input as the letter
A
.
The following codes are inserted automatically and need not be
input by hand:
Left/right quiet zone
Start/Stop character (when not input)
Check digit
Character type
Numbers (0 to 9)
Symbols ( - $ : / . +)
