The width of a defined bar code is predetermined by the definition of the bar code

type. The width of all bars and spaces is automatically set.
Example:
The following sequence defines a Code 39 LOGMAR bar code of standard density.
The characters “12345” are encoded in the bar code.
The characters “12345” are encoded in the bar code.
^BNd12345^G^-
Example:
The same character data is represented below in a low density LOGMAR bar code.
