2D Bar Code – PDF417 Specific Options

Description Use this command to print PDF 417 and Macro PDF bar code symbols. The printer will automatically change from PDF417 to Macro PDF bar code mode if the data sent to the printer exceeds the maximum amount supported by the PDF417 symbol. The oH command is used to place the addition Macro PDF symbols needed for the continuation data.

The printer will automatically optimize the symbol for readability of data (and use the minimum number of symbols when using Macro PDF). The symbol’s geometry is adjusted (typically reducing the size of the symbol) per the defined parameters. The printer will use the largest module size (bar width and height) and minimize the number of rows and columns.

Syntax bp1,p2,p3,p4,p5[,p6][,p7][,p8][,p9][,p10][,p11][,p12][,p13] [,p14][,p15],”DATA”

Parameters This table identifies the parameters for this format:
