Printer Outpu There is no printer output as a result of this command. See the
DC Print Data command for printer output.
Special Notes 1. If any of the parameters entered are outside the valid range, a
symbol will not be printed when the DC Print Data
command is sent to the printer.
2. The number of cells per line (eee) and the number of cell lines (fff)
should be specified as all zeroes, allowing the printer to
automatically calculate the optimum configuration for the symbol.
3. The Reference Point for the Data Matrix symbol is the upper-left
corner. If an R Rotate command is used to rotate the
symbol, it will rotate in the counter-clockwise direction.
