2D Bar Code – Aztec Specific Options

Description Use this command to print an Aztec two dimensional bar code symbol. The symbols are square on a square grid with a square central bullseye finder. Data is encoded in a series of “layers” that circle around the bullseye pattern. Each additional layer completely surrounds the previous layer thus causing the symbol to grow in size as more data is encoded.

Supported Printer Models: G-Series, 2844*, 3842*

* - Available as a firmware download from the www.zebra.com website.

Syntax bp1,p2,p3,[p4,][p5,][p6,][p7,][p8,]”DATA”

Parameters This table identifies the parameters for this format:

Order is not important for parameters p4-p8. Include the prefix letter (d,e,f,m or r) to select the parameter followed by a valid numeric value.

p4(d)= Symbol Scaling	Default Value: 3
	Accepted Values: 1–55
p5(e) = Symbol layer	Both layer and error correction effect the symbol size.
and/or error	Accepted Values:
correction levels.	e0 = Default checkword level (23% +3)
	e1–e99 = 1% to 99% check words
	e101–e104 = Compact symbol with 1 to 4 layers
	e201–e232 = Full symbol with 1 to 32 layers
