NTRODUCTION

This manual describes your printer's built in barcode printing feature. It is a technical manual for systems integrators with a working knowledge of the PCL5e page description language and of barcode schemes in general.

NOTE The barcode illustrations in this manual are NOT genuine barcodes. They are illustrations only, and cannot be read correctly by standard barcode readers.

The barcode printing feature uses special PCL5e font selection code sequences to generate scalable, configured barcodes in a range of sizes, with automatic generation of check characters upon request.

Barcodes are generated graphically rather than using special barcode fonts. This provides better support for bar thickness, wide-to-narrow ratios, check digits and a wider range of bar coding schemes than is possible with bar coding fonts.

The barcode printing feature supports the range of one-dimensional barcodes listed in the following table.
