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 4±88), or

 

use the CP.DP format (page 4±7).

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 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.

FONT

Optional parameter to select the font for the human

 

readable data field. The default value is N, selecting

 

the normal ASCII 10 cpi font. Enter O to select the

 

OCR±A 10 cpi font; enter X to select the OCR±B 10

 

cpi type font.

STOP

Ends the Bar Code command while the IGP/PGL

 

continues in the Create Form Mode. Enter STOP. If

 

STOP is not entered, an error message results.
