Optional parameter to provide a 2- or 5-digit add-on

 

code at the end of the bar code data field. Enter a

 

plus sign (+) and a value of 2 or 5. The first bar of

 

the add-on code is separated by nine modules from

pattern. No center or right guard pattern exists.

DIR

Optional parameter that allows for rotating a

 

barcode. Enter CW for clockwise rotation. Enter

 

CCW or VSCAN for counter-clockwise rotation.

 

Enter INV for inverted rotation. If DIR is not

 

entered, the barcode is horizontally oriented.

SCB

bars, which are normally full length.

MAG

Optional parameter to magnify (horizontally

 

expand) the bar code symbol. The magnification

 

default value is X1. Increasing the magnification

ratio.)

adjustments are made in 0.1-inch increments; enter

 

H and a value from 4 through 99 to select height

 

adjustments from 0.4 through 9.9 inches. The

 

default value is 1.3 inches. The [.m] provides an

 

additional number of dots for the bar code height.

 

(Dots are in the current dot scale.)

code data field location on a form. With this

 

parameter, the actual data for the bar code data

 

field is dynamically provided during the Execute
