SR and SC parameters specify the exact

 

 

location of the bar code field identified by n.

 

c.

Replace L with the maximum number of

 

 

characters in the field. The actual data

 

 

provided dynamically during the Execute Form

 

 

mode can be less than L. It is permitted to

 

 

supply no data at all.

 

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

parameters are used. However, refer to the

 

 

data field description for available characters

 

 

to use during Execute Form mode.

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, or use the

 

CP.DP format.

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, or use

 

the CP.DP format.

(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 on both ends of the data field. It will not print with the data.

data field The bar code data. The data field for UCC/EAN- 128 consists of an “application identifier” (AI) of two to four numbers, followed by data of appropriate length (variable or fixed) and type (numeric or alphanumeric). See Table 17 for a list of application identifiers and their associated data fields.

The FNC1 character is required as the first character after the start code for UCC/EAN-128 bar codes, and IGP will always generate it automatically. It will appear in the bar code but not in the human readable field. Do not supply FNC1 in the data field.
