Chapter 3 Bar Codes

 

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 89),

 

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

 

89), 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

Contains the bar code characters. A null data field

 

(no characters) is permitted. The data field can

 

contain any of the characters listed in Table 10

 

except the SFCC. The length of the data field is

 

variable; however, the maximum length is usually

 

limited to 32 characters to minimize potential

 

reading errors.

PDF

Optional parameter to enable printing of the human

 

readable data field. Enter PDF to print the data

 

field. If the parameter is not used, the human

 

readable data will not print. This parameter is not

 

allowed if a null data field is specified.

LOC

Optional parameter to identify the location of the

 

printable data field. The default value is B, locating

 

the human readable data below the bar code. A

 

locates the printable data field above bar code. To

 

compensate for printing the 0.1-inch high data, the

 

height of the bar code body is reduced 0.1 inch.
