bCommand - 2D Bar Code - MaxiCode Specific Options

Description Use this command to generate MaxiCode bar code symbols with a single command. The printer will automatically interpret and encode data into MaxiCode symbols for data modes 2, 3, 4, and 6. Up to eight symbols can be linked.

Syntax bp1,p2,p3,[p4,][p5,]“DATA” Parameters p1 = Horizontal start position (X) in dots

p2 = Vertical start position (Y) in dots p3 = M - Must be "M" for MaxiCode p4 = Mode Selection

Value	Description
Not Used	Automatic Selection Mode 2 or 3
M2	Mode 2
M3	Mode 3
m4	Mode 4
m6	Mode 6

1.If p4 (Mx) is not used, the printer will use the following rules to automatically format the “DATA” parameter. If the postal code (third parameter, PC) in the “DATA” is:

·All numeric characters, the printer will auto- matically select Mode 2.

·Alpha only or alpha-numeric character com- binations will set the printer to Mode 3.

·Not used, the printer automatically selects Mode 3.

2.If p4 value is “M2 or M3”, the printer will use the following rules to format the “Data” param- eter:

·In Mode 2 - If a non-numeric character is en- tered in the Postal Code “Data” parameter field, then the MaxiCode bar code will not print.

·In Mode 3 – If the Postal Code “Data” field exceed 6 characters, then the additional char- acters will be truncated from the bar code field.
