BARCODE-OUT
4 0
5
LPT2
|
|
UNIX |
BARCODE-OUT
4 0
5 -p lp –s –dReport |
-
The
character between 4 and 5 in the above examples is a zero.
-
The first
number is the printer type.
Most printers work best if you use 4.
-
The second
number is an offset value from the top.
If labels are printing too high, you can use any whole number
from 0 to 19.
As the number increases, the printing will begin further from the
top.
-
The
third number is an offset value from left to right.
Use a zero to print on the left side of the label, 5 to print in
the middle, and 9 to 10 to print on the right side.
This option is provided so you can have pre-printed labels with
your store logo on one side or the other and be able to move the barcode
to accommodate the logo.
-
The
last setting is the printer name.
In a DOS or Windows 3.1 based system, it is normally set to LPT2.
If you need to specify a spooler name, you can do so here.

of the print spooler (spooler is shown in the above example).
