bCommand - 2D Bar Code - PDF417 Specific Options

Description Use this command to print PDF 417 and Macro PDF bar code symbols. The printer will auto- matically change from PDF417 to Macro PDF bar code mode if the data sent to the printer ex- ceeds 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 sym- bol for readability of data (and use the mini- mum number of symbols when using Macro PDF). The symbol's geometry is adjusted (typi- cally reducing the size of the symbol) per the de- fined parameters. The printer will use the largest module size (bar width and height) and mini- mize the number of rows and columns.

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

Parameters The printer will automatically generate the PDF417 bar code using the following parameters.

p1 = Horizontal start position (X) in dots

p2 = Vertical start position (Y) in dots

p3 = P - Must be "P" for PDF 417 bar codes

p4 (www) =maximum print width in dots

p5 (hhh) = maximum print height in dots

The programmer should rely on the symbology's specification to insure format compliance and proper implementation. See the AIM web site for specifications at:
