S/N Data

Up to 25 alphanumeric serial number

NOTES:

The ECI number must be six digits followed by a semi colon. If the seventh character is not a semi colon then only a six digit code 39 will print.

The link flag is the character “T” in code 39 without a start/stop indicator. The location of this flag is based on the ECI code location, length and height.

The serial number may contain up to 25 alphanumeric characters and is encoded in the MicroPDF417 symbol. This symbol is fixed at 4 columns and the rows are determined based on the following:

23-25

The location of the MicroPDF417 symbol is based on the location of ECI barcode. The symbol’s module width and height are fixed at the default.
