HP LineJet Printers - IGP/PGL Technical Reference Manual, 171250-001PX

Interleaved 2/5 (I-2/5), German I-2/5 and ITF-14
139
data field Interleaved 2/5: Enter the characters for the bar
code data. A null data field (no characters) is
permitted. The length of the data field is variable;
however, the maximum length is usually limited to
32 characters to minimize potential reading errors.
An even number of characters are required for the
interleaving process. Consequently, if an odd
number of characters are entered in the data field,
a leading zero is added automatically. The
characters available for the data field are 0 through
9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively).
German I-2/5: The data field must be 11 or 13
digits exactly.
ITF-14: The data field must be 13 digits exactly.
PDF Optional parameter to enable printing of the human
readable data field. Enter PDF to print the data
field. If the parameter is not used, the human
readable data is not printed. This parameter is not
allowed if a null data field was specified. For
German I-2/5, fields of the data are separated by
dots and spaces.
LOC Optional parameter to identify the location of the
printable data field. The default value is B, locating
the human readable data below the bar code. A
locates the printable data field above the bar code.
To compensate for printing the 0.1-inch high data,
the height of the bar code body is reduced 0.1-inch.
FONT Optional parameter to select the font for the human
readable data field. Enter O to select OCR-A font;
enter X to select OCR-B font; enter N to select 10
cpi; enter P to select 12 cpi; enter Q to select 13
cpi; enter R to select 15 cpi; enter T to select 17 cpi;
enter V to select 20 cpi.
STOP Ends the Bar Code command while the IGP
continues in the Create Form mode. Enter STOP. If
STOP is not entered, an error message results.
