Printing Bar Codes
Page B-8
The following sequence will print the same bar code, except the bar code will be four
times as wide.
^BN9a448812345^G^-
Example:
Note that when choosing the bar code type off which the variable width bar code will
be based, ratio is irrelevant.  If a 2-of-5 bar code with ratio 3:3:9:9 (not supported
directly) is desired, it may be derived from bar code types “g” and “h”.  The
following variable width bar code definitions all produce exactly the same result.
^BN9g339912345^G^-
^BN9h339912345^G^-
Choosing any other bar code type will not achieve the desired result.  The following
bar code has the desired ratio, but it is a Code 39 instead of a 2-of-5 bar code.
