Printronix ThermaLine Series - Manual (Page 192)

Bar Codes 5–54
BFn 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. The length of the data field need not be
specified, since it is fixed at 19 digits, plus any
add–on data.
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 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).
SC Defines the starting column of the bar code. Enter a
value ranging from column 1 to one less than the width
of the form. Character column or dot column is
specified based on the Scale command (page 4–88), or
use the CP.DP format (page 4–7).
