five bar code types shown.

ee = Wide bar in dots (01 to 99)

Place following the print position commands and preceding <ESC>BW.

You may use only one variable ratio bar code per label.

If the data specified in this command is incorrect, the command is ignored and the ratio used will be

based on the previous setting.
