Using PDF4-17 Example
{PRINT:
@75,10:PD417,YDIM 6,XDIM 2,COLUMNS 2, SECURITY 3|ABCDEFGHIJKL|}
Explanation: Prints a PDF-417 bar code containing ABCDEFGHIJKL with each element .010"
wide and .030" high; each row contains 2 data bytes and uses an error detection and
correction level of 3, which adds 16 error correction code words to the bar code.
Stored Formats
{PRINTFORMAT,FNAME[:LISTofVARIABLES]}
EXAMPLE: Begin with the following Easy Print job:
[ESC]EZ{PRINT,QUANTITY2:
@160,0:MF107,VMULT 3,HMULT 3|FORMAT TEST|
@260,0:MF107|09/03/03 01:52 PM |
@360,0:MF185|Ticket #:|
@360,0:MF107| TT-123456789|
@385,0:MF185|Permit:|
@385,0:MF107| AB-1234567|
}
1 CREATE THE FORMAT TO STORE: Replace the data in the fields that need to change to a
variable name beginning with "&":
[ESC]EZ{PRINT,QUANTITY2:
@160,0:MF107,VMULT 3,HMULT 3|&field1|
@260,0:MF107|&date time|
@360,0:MF185|Ticket #:|
@360,0:MF107|&ticket number|
@385,0:MF185|Permit:|
@385,0:MF107|&permit number|
}
2 STORE THE FORMAT using the Datamax-O’Neil tools, such as the Windows Configuration
Program MFLASH. In this example, we will use the format name FTEST.
3 PRINT THE FORMAT: Send the following string to the printer to print the format. The
resulting image should look the same as when the original format with data first shown in
the example was printed.
[ESC]EZ{PRINTFORMAT,FTEST:
&field1=|FORMAT TEST|
&date time =|09/03/03 01:52 PM|
&ticket number= | TT-123456789|
&permit number = | AB-1234567|
}
