Bar Codes

5–114

BFn

Optional parameter for assigning a dynamic bar code

data field location on a form. With this parameter, 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:

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 6 or 11 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).
