Chapter 3 Bar Codes

 

b.

Replace n with a number ranging from 1

 

 

through 512 to identify the bar code field. The

 

 

SR and SC parameters specify the exact

 

 

location of the bar code field identified by n.

 

c.

The length of the data field need not be

 

 

specified, since it is fixed at 12 digits, plus any

 

 

add-on data.

 

d.

The information for the data field is entered

 

 

dynamically during the Execute Form mode.

 

 

(Refer to “Execute Form: Dynamic Bar Code

 

 

Data” on page 63.) Do not use the data field

 

 

parameter to enter data when the BFn

 

 

parameters are used. However, refer to the

 

 

data field description for available characters.

DARK

Optional parameter to produce darker bar codes.

 

Enter DARK. Refer to “Dark Printing” on page 28

 

for more information.

SR

Defines the starting row for the bar code. Enter a

 

value ranging from row 1 to one less than the

 

length of the form. Character row or dot row is

 

specified based on the Scale command (page 83),

 

or use the CP.DP format (page 26).

SC

Defines the starting column of the bar code. Enter a

 

value ranging from column 1 to one less than the

 

width of the form. Character column or dot column

 

is specified based on the Scale command (page

 

83), or use the CP.DP format (page 26).

(D)The printable character (delimiter) identifying the start and finish of the data field. Enter any printable character other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a character used within the data. The same character must be used at both ends of the data field, but it is not printed with the data.

data field Enter the characters of the bar code data, restricted to exactly 12 digits. If the 2- or 5-digit add-on data option is used, include this data at the end of the data field. The characters available for the data field are 0 through 9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively). The first character is interpreted as the number system character.

The left side of the data field (or the lower side on vertically-oriented symbols) can be encoded in either format A or format B as determined by the value of the number system character. (A bar code character is not produced for the number system character.) The number system character is derived from the left side data field encoding. The right side of the data field (or the upper side on vertically-oriented symbols) and check digit are
