5–55Bar Codes
DThe 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 characters for the bar code data, restricted to
exactly 19 digits. Enter the Packaging Type Number,
followed by the 7 digit Manufacturing Number
(including Number System Character preceded by zero
if a UPC number). Enter the 9 digit Shipping Container
Serial Number. The characters available for the data
field are 0 through 9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively).
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.
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.
