∙No human readable characters appear with this bar code ( 0).

Syntax Checklist

∙Make sure this record is preceded by a format header record.

∙Make sure the first parameter (field number) begins with B.

∙Make sure the row and column locations in this record are less than the supply length and width.

∙Make sure you have allowed enough space to hold all the characters in the field without running off the supply.

∙Make sure you have left enough room so the bar code height does not run off the supply.

∙Make sure the record ends with a record separator ( p ).

∙If this is the last record in your format, place a close brace (}) at the end of the record.

NOTES:

1.Field definitions may be sent in any order, regardless of field location. The last field carries priority over previous fields and will overwrite the previous fields if they overlap when printed.

2.To print human readable characters for Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, Code 128 and MSI bar codes, create a separate text field.

NOTE: If using this method with UPC or EAN bar codes, the bar code may not print correctly.

3.A new format with the same ID number as a previously defined format will overwrite the old format. However, the old format will not be overwritten until all batches queued to use the old format are completed.

4.The following special restrictions apply to online bar codes.
