Bar Codes

5–24

BFn;L

Optional parameters for assigning a dynamic bar code

data field location on a form and for designating the

length of the data field. With these parameters, the

actual data for the bar code data field is dynamically

provided during the Execute Form Mode; the data is

not specified during the Create Form Mode. To use this

field, perform the following steps:

a.

Enter BF.

b. Replace n with a number ranging from 1 to 255

to identify the bar code field. The SR and SC

parameters specify the exact location of the bar

code field identified by n.

c.

Replace L with a number equaling the total

number of characters in the field. (The actual

data provided dynamically during the Execute

Form Mode can be less than L.)

d. The information for the data field is entered

dynamically during the Execute Form Mode.

(Refer to “Execute Form: Dynamic Bar Code

Data” on page 4–55 in the “Commands”

chapter.) Do not use the data field parameter to

enter data when the BFn;L parameters are used.

However, refer to the data field description for

available characters.

DARK

Optional parameter to produce darker looking bar

codes. Enter DARK. Refer to Dark Printing on page

4–10 for more information.

SR

Defines the starting row for the bar code. Enter a value

ranging from row 1 to one less than the length of the

form. Character row or dot row is specified based on

the Scale command (page 4–88), or use the CP.DP

format (page 4–7).
