Bar Codes

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 will

not print with the data.

data field

Enter the characters for the bar code data. A null data

field (no characters) is permitted. The length of the

data field is variable; however, a maximum of 14 data

characters are allowed if a one–character check digit

field is specified; a maximum of 13 data characters are

allowed if a two–character check digit field is

specified.

The characters available for the data field are 0 through

9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively).

PDF

Optional parameter to enable printing of the human

readable data field. Enter PDF to print the data field. If

the parameter is not used, the human readable data will

not print.

LOC

Optional parameter to identify the location of the

printable data field. The default value is B, locating the

human readable data below the bar code. A locates the

printable data field above the bar code. To compensate

for printing the 0.1–inch high data, the height of the

bar code body is reduced 0.1–inch.
