Numerals under bars
Numerals are/are not provided under bars according to the parameter for print/non print
of numerals under bars. The numerals under bars to be printed vary according to the
type of barcode.
The font of numerals under bars is OCR-B. These numerals are enlarged or reduced
only horizontally according to the width of the barcode. When they are drawn vertically,
no enlargement or reduction is applied.

Zero(s) in a data row is replaced with a space(s) from the upper digits, according to the
designated number of digits. However, if the number of digits after zero suppression is
greater than the data row, the data row will be drawn without performing zero
suppression. Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data
row will not be drawn.
When the print data including start/stop codes are sent, the start/stop codes are also
counted as a digit each.

Start/stop
code
This parameter is effective only when the type of barcode is CODE39 and NW7.
When the parameter is designated, whether or not the stop code and the start code are
attached to the print data to be sent is not checked.
When the parameter is omitted in the case of CODE39 and NW7, a start/stop code will be
attached. The code to be added is “*” in the case of CODE39, and “a” in the case of
NW7.
For details, refer to “AUTOMATIC ADDITION OF START/STOP CODES.”
