4 PCL 5 emulation: HP This section discusses the HP commands implemented in the Forms and Bar Code Card. One-dimensional bar codes With Forms and Bar Code Card installed, font selection commands in the incoming PCL 5 data stream are analyzed for typeface characteristic values given in the table "PCL 5 function parameter list" on page 15. If the typeface value is one of those given, then special bar code generation firmware will process the font selection command. Otherwise, PCL 5 emulation proceeds as normal. Defining characteristics The following commands let you further define characteristics of the bar code: Command Esc(s#P Esc(s#H Esc(s#V Esc(s#B Esc(s#S Characteristic Determines the location of human-readable text printed with the bar code. Selects the font used for human-readable text. Selects the bar heights. Selects the bar widths. Selects the space widths. For more information on bar code characteristic parameters and default values, see "PCL 5 function parameter list" on page 15. Command structure considerations These command structure considerations should be followed when implementing bar code applications using the Forms and Bar Code Card: • Always specify the typeface parameter, because it directs processing to the bar code generation firmware. • You must explicitly specify the characteristic values. If no value is specified, then the default value is used. Previously specified non-default values are not retained. PCL 5 emulation: HP 11
