EPSON Code39
Four Code39 fonts are available, allowing you to enable and disable the automatic insertion of check digits and OCR-B. The height of the bar code is automatically adjusted to 15% or more of its total length, in conformance to the Code39 standard. For this reason, it is important to keep at least one space between the bar code and the surrounding text to prevent overlapping. Spaces in Code39 bar codes should be input as "_" underbars. When printing two or more bar codes on one line, separate the bar codes with a tab, or select a font other than a BarCode Font and input the space. If a space is input while a Code39 font is selected, the bar code will not be correct.
Character type Number of characters Font size Alphanumeric characters (A to Z, 0 to 9) Symbols (- . space $ / + %) No limit When OCR-B is not used: 26 pt or more (up to 96 pt in Windows Vista/XP/2000/Server 2008/Server 2003). Recommended sizes are 26 pt, 52 pt, 78 pt, and 104 pt. When OCR-B is used: 36 pt or more (up to 96 pt in Windows Vista/XP/2000/Server 2008/ Server 2003). Recommended sizes are 36 pt, 72 pt, 108 pt, and 144 pt.
