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.

Replace L with a number equaling the total

 

 

number of characters in the field. (The actual

 

 

data provided dynamically during the Execute

 

 

Form Mode can be less than L.)

 

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;L

 

 

parameters are used. However, refer to the

 

 

data field description for available characters.

DARK

Optional parameter to produce darker looking 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 will not print with the data.

data field Enter the characters for the bar code data. A null data field (no characters) is permitted. The length of the data field is variable; however, the maximum length is usually limited to 32 characters to minimize potential reading errors. An even number of characters are required for the interleaving process. Consequently, if an odd number of characters are entered in the data field, a leading zero is added automatically. The characters available for the data field are 0 through 9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively).
