8. Aspect 

value 

[2-byte decimal]      1 to 1000 

 

 
Enter the aspect value. Actually, this is between 0.01 and 
10.0. However, since a decimal point cannot be entered, a 
value multiplied by 100 is entered. 

The default is “50”.

 (The actual value is 0.5.)

 

 

* Note: 

The aspect value setting is ignored if the symbol size in the X direction or the symbol size 

in the Y direction is entered manually. 

Depending on the conditions, the bar code may not be generated or a bar code that 
cannot be scanned may be generated if the symbol size in the X direction or the symbol 

size in the Y direction is entered manually. 

When a large cell size is specified together with a high error correction capacity, printing 
may not be possible because the print buffer has become full. 

[With symbol type Micro PDF417] 

Since the error correction capacity is automatically determined from the symbol size in 
the X direction, the settings for “Error correction capacity–type” and “Error correction 

capacity–value” are ignored. 

The aspect value setting is ignored. 

The following table shows the values available for the symbol size in the Y direction 

according to the symbol size in the X direction. If an invalid setting is specified for the 

symbol size in the Y direction, the default setting is specified.
