Bar Codes

5–68

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).

D

The printable character (delimiter) identifying the start

and finish of the data field. Enter any printable

character other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a

character used within the data. The same character

must be used at both ends of the data field, but it is not

printed with the data.

data field

Enter the characters of the bar code data, restricted to

exactly 12 digits. If the 2– or 5–digit add–on data

option is used, include this data at the end of the data

field. The characters available for the data field are 0

through 9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively). The first

character is interpreted as the number system character.

The left side of the data field (or lower side on

vertically oriented symbols) can be encoded in either

format A or format B as determined by the value of the

number system character. (A bar code character is not

produced for the number system character.)

The number system character is derived from the left

side data field encoding. The right side of the data field

(or upper side on vertically oriented symbols) and

check digit are always encoded in format C.

Table 5–15 defines the left side data field format based

on the number system character.
