Chapter 3 Bar Codes

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 data for the bar code. This bar code is

 

restricted to 10 data characters. The first character

 

must be 0 through 9 or A through Z. The remaining

 

nine digits must be 0 through 9.

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 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 bar code. To

 

compensate for printing the 0.1-inch high data, the

 

height of the bar code body is reduced 0.1 inch.

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

continues in the Create Form Mode. Enter STOP. If

 

STOP is not entered, an error message results.

Note Access for the alternate set of control function characters is by using SO (Shift Out, hex 0E). The SO control code identifies the next character as the control function character, and must be inserted before each alternate character required. The SO character is selectable from the printer’s front panel (see your User’s Guide).
