Bar Code Data:

The following explains the

Bar code data

prompt in detail. The

valid set of characters and data lengths depend on the bar code type.

For a record layout of the printout format definition (PFD definition), you can enter a

variable data field as "&<field name>.". You can see the list of fields and select

Field Name Description
HRI font You can specify an HRI font with a font number between 1 and 8. The
actual font used for the number has been defined on the Work with
Source Overlay Fonts display or the Work with PFD Definition Fonts
display. The default value is *DEFAULT which specifies the printer
default when the printer type which supports a bar code is specified.
For the printer types which do not support the Bar Code Object Content
Architecture, the following code pages and the character sets are used
for *DEFAULT:
Code128
Code page T1V10500
Character set C0S0CR1O
UPCA, UPCE, EAN8, EAN13
Code page T1V10500
Character set C0L00BOA
Others (Except for POSTNET)
Code page T1V10500
Character set C0L00AOA
Module width Specifies the module width. A module is the smallest-defined bar code
dimension.
A valid value for this prompt is *DEFAULT or a number in the unit of
measure specified in the overlay specifications or the PFD
specifications. The range of valid values is
0.001 - 0.254 (in inches)
0.003 - 0.645 (in centimeters)
The range of valid module widths varies depending on the bar code
type and application. The default value is *DEFAULT.
Element height Specifies the height of the symbol bar and space elements. A valid
value is *DEFAULT or a number in the unit of measure specified in the
overlay specifications or the PFD specifications. The range of valid
values is
0.01 - 22.75 (in inches)
0.01 - 57.79 (in centimeters)
For the UPC, CGPC, EAN and JAN bar code types, the total symbol
height includes both bar and space patterns and HRI. The default
value is *DEFAULT.
Wide to narrow
ratio Specifies the ratio of the Bar Code wide-element dimension to the
narrow-element dimension when there are only two different-size
elements. The wide-to-narrow ratio is not applicable to the UPC or the
EAN codes. The ratio for the MSI is always 2.00 regardless of the
value specified in this prompt. If this prompt is left blank, the printer
default value *DEFAULT is used.
