Chapter 6 - Designing Bar Code Labels About Units of Measure The unit of measure is always "dots", which means that all measures depend on the density of the printhead. For 300 dots/inch printheads, a dot = 0.00333 inches or 3.33 mils. For 203 dots/inch printheads, a dot is = 0.00492 inches or 4.92 mils. Because fonts are specified in points instead of dots, all fonts should print the same size regardless of the printhead density. Dots are the same size along both the X-axis and the Y-axis. About Insertion and Anchor Points The insertion point of any field is specified using a PRPOS, statement. For example, the statement PRPOS 100, 200 means that the object is inserted at a position 100 dots to the right of the origin and 200 dots further back along the media path. Each field has up to 9 anchor points. Use the ALIGN command to choose the anchor point that is positioned at the insertion point. For example, specifying ALIGN 1 places the lower left corner of a text field at the insertion point.. Note: For detailed information on the anchor points of bar codes where the interpretation is an integrated part of the bar code pattern (such as for EAN and UPC codes), see ALIGN in the Fingerprint Command Reference Manual. The next illustrations show the anchor point locations for the different fields. 5 7 8 9 4 6 1 2 3 Bar Code Field Anchor Points 1, 4, or 7 2, 5, or 8 Box Field Anchor Points 7 8 5 4 1 2 Image Field Anchor Points 3, 6, or 9 9 6 3 76 Fingerprint Developer's Guide
