B1. B

Bar Code Field.

B2. field# Unique number from 0 - 999 to identify this field.

B3. # of char Maximum number of characters. If the bar code uses a check digit, allow an extra character for the check digit. The actual maximum number of characters is limited by the size of the label and bar code density. Range: 0 - 2710.

For Quick Response bar codes, this number includes header information. The maximum depends on the type of characters entered for the batch data and differs for the two models of the bar code.

Data Type	Model 1	Model 2
Numeric Data	1167	2710
Alphanumeric data	707	2710
8-byte data	486	2710
Kanji data	299	1817

Note: The maximum number of characters depends on the selected level of error correction. As you increase the error correction level, the maximum number of characters decreases.
