        """ Print Barcode

        This method allows to print barcodes. The rendering of the barcode is done by the printer and therefore has to
        be supported by the unit. Currently you have to check manually whether your barcode text is correct. Uncorrect
        barcodes may lead to unexpected printer behaviour. There are two forms of the barcode function. Type A is
        default but has fewer barcodes, while type B has some more to choose from.

        .. todo:: Add a method to check barcode codes. Alternatively or as an addition write explanations about each
                  barcode-type. Research whether the check digits can be computed autmatically.

        Use the parameters `height` and `width` for adjusting of the barcode size. Please take notice that the barcode
        will not be printed if it is outside of the printable area. (Which should be impossible with this method, so
        this information is probably more useful for debugging purposes.)

        .. todo:: On TM-T88II width from 1 to 6 is accepted. Try to acquire command reference and correct the code.
        .. todo:: Supplying pos does not have an effect for every barcode type. Check and document for which types this
                  is true.

        If you do not want to center the barcode you can call the method with `align_ct=False`, which will disable
        automatic centering. Please note that when you use center alignment, then the alignment of text will be changed
        automatically to centered. You have to manually restore the alignment if necessary.

        .. todo:: If further barcode-types are needed they could be rendered transparently as an image. (This could also
                  be of help if the printer does not support types that others do.)
