      Hello Group,

       

      In portion of my code (Basic), I print a bar-code along with its human readable number as the following:

       

         print (chanW1)"^XA"

         print (chanW1)"^MMT"

         print (chanW1)"^PW830"

         print (chanW1)"^LL0406"

         print (chanW1)"^LS0"

         //   some code go here to center the bar-code and its interpretation (human readable value)

        print (chanW1)"^BY"+str(j)+",2,156^FT"+str(i)+",119^BCI,,Y,N"

        print (chanW1)"^FD"+part_number$+"^FS"

        print (chanW1)"^PQ1,0,1,Y^XZ"

       

      Now, I'm facing two issues:

       

      1- How can I have the number under the bar-code to be displayed with a larger font on top?

      2- Currently, I'm using a logic to check the length of part-number and the width of the paper to center the bar-code but does the API has any function to do it?

      I will appreciate your response.

       

      Thanks.

          Hi Ramsin,

          You will have to modify the ZPL to get the output you want.

          To get the human readable text on top, it's a simple parameter adjustment: ^BCI,,N,Y  This will not adjust the font size though.

          To adjust the font size, you will have to add the text separately with a ^A command.

          Currently there is no easy way within ZPL to center a barcode.  Your method is the best option.

           

          print (chanW1)"^XA"

            print (chanW1)"^MMT"

            print (chanW1)"^PW830"

            print (chanW1)"^LL0406"

            print (chanW1)"^LS0"

            //  some code go here to center the bar-code and its interpretation (human readable value)

            print (chanW1)"^BY"+str(j)+",2,156^FT"+str(i)+",119^BCI,,N,N"

            print (chanW1)"^FD"+part_number$+"^FS"

            print (chanW1)"^FT"+str(i)+",10^A0N,30,30^FD"+part_number$+"^FS"

            print (chanW1)"^PQ1,0,1,Y^XZ"
