BFn

Indicates a dynamic bar code field (BF) and its data

data field corresponding to the number used to identify

 

the field when it was defined with the bar code

 

command during the Create Form mode.

D

The printable character (quotation marks for example)

 

identifying the start and finish of the bar code data.

 

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 will not be printed with the data.

data field

Enter the characters for the bar code data. The type of

 

characters allowed in the data varies with the type of

 

bar code. Refer to the data field descriptions for the

 

selected bar code types.

NOTE: Commands can appear anywhere in the overlay text with PGL.

Comments The bar code location must have been previously identified using the BFn;L or BFn parameters of a bar code command in the Create Form mode. Then use the appropriate bar code command to enter the bar code data in that location. Inputting individual commands enters new bar code data into the identified location each time the form is printed.

You can repeat the (cc)BFn;(D)data field(D) sequence to complete as many bar code data fields as were defined on the form in the Create Form mode. You can also combine the Execute Dynamic Alphanumeric Data command in the same Execute command sequence. Each ªpageº of dynamic data (the dynamic fields, data, and overlay data) for the form must be separated from the next page of new dynamic data by a form feed.
