5–89Bar Codes
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).
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. A null data
field (no characters) is permitted. The length of the
data field is variable; however, a maximum of 14 data
characters are allowed if a one–character check digit
field is specified; a maximum of 13 data characters are
allowed if a two–character check digit field is
specified.
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.
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. To compensate
for printing the 0.1–inch high data, the height of the
bar code body is reduced 0.1–inch.
