UCC/EAN-128

 

The start code and subset switching is done

 

automatically by IGP based on the data field

 

contents so that the bar code length is minimized.

 

Subset C encodes each pair of numbers as a single

 

bar code character, providing a higher character

 

density. If the first four data digits are numbers, the

 

bar code starts in subset C; otherwise it starts in

 

subset B. The subset will switch from B to C at any

 

point in the data field if the next four characters are

 

numbers, and will switch from C to B if the next two

 

characters are not numbers or only one character

 

remains.

 

The data field can contain any of the characters

 

listed in Table 13 except the system SFCC and the

 

character used as a delimiter.

PDF

Optional parameter to enable printing of the human

 

readable data field. Enter PDF to print the data

 

field. If this parameter is not used, the human

 

readable data will not print. This parameter is not

 

allowed if a null data field was 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 the bar code.

 

The height of the bar code body is reduced to

 

compensate for the human readable field and the

 

guard bands.

FONT

Optional parameter to identify the font of the

 

printable data field. Enter O to select OCR-A font;

 

enter X to select OCR-B font; enter N to select 10

 

cpi; enter P to select 12 cpi; enter Q to select 13

 

cpi; enter R to select 15 cpi; enter T to select 17 cpi;

 

enter V to select 20 cpi.

STOP

Ends the bar code command while the IGP

 

continues in the Create Form mode. Enter STOP. If

 

STOP is not encountered, an error message

 

results.
