BARCODE

The Bar Code command; enter BARCODE.

UPCSHIP

Designates bar code type UPCSHIP; enter

 

UPCSHIP.

DIR

Optional parameter that allows for rotating a

 

barcode. Enter CW for clockwise rotation. Enter

 

CCW or VSCAN for counter-clockwise rotation.

 

Enter INV for inverted rotation. If DIR is not

 

entered, the barcode is horizontally oriented.

MAG

Optional parameter to magnify (horizontally

 

expand) the bar code symbol. The magnification

 

default value is X1. As required for scanning, enter

 

a magnification value from Table 8 to increase the

 

magnification. Increasing the magnification adjusts

 

printed character density. You can also use XR or

 

XRD as defined on page 89.

Hn[.m]

Optional parameter to adjust the overall height

 

(vertical expansion) of the bar code symbol

 

(including the upper and lower 0.1-inch guard

 

bands and any human readable data). Height

 

adjustments are made in 0.1-inch increments; enter

 

H and a value from 3 through 99 to select height

 

adjustments from 0.3 through 9.9 inches. The

 

default value is 0.9-inch.

 

[.m] is an additional number of dots for the bar code

 

height. (Dots are in the current dot scale.)

NOTE: If 0.3 inches is the selected height, the PDF cannot be included.

BFn

Optional parameter for assigning a dynamic bar

 

code data field location on a form. With this

 

parameter, the actual data for the bar code data

 

field is dynamically provided during the Execute

 

Form Mode; the data is not specified during the

 

Create Form Mode. To use this field, perform the

 

following steps:

 

a.

Enter BF.

 

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 13 digits, plus any

 

 

add-on data.
