Bar Codes
All bar codes supported by the EPL2 language have associated industry specifications that the
programmer should be aware of and adhere to. The programmer needs to consider bar code
features and requirements when choosing and using a bar code for different applications. Some
of the features and requirements that need consideration are listed below:
• Data used by the application are per the bar code specification (numbers only,
alphanumeric, alphanumeric and special characters, etc.).
• Minimum and maximum number of characters allowed or required per bar code.
• Density or magnification of a given bar code type.
• White area required around bar codes (the “Quiet Zone”).
• The bar code must print within the image buffer (printable area of the label).
