Format:^BXo,h,s,c,r,f,g
Parameters:
o = orientation
Accepted Values:
N = normal
R = rotated 90 degrees(clockwise)
I = inverted 180 degrees
B = read from bottom up,270 degrees
Default Value: Current ^FW value
h = dimensional height of individual symbol elements
(one to width of label)
The individual elements are square – this parameter specifies both module and row
height. If this parameter is zero(or not given),the h parameter(bar height) in ^BY will be
used as the approximate symbol height.
s = quality level
Accepted Values:0,50,80,100,140,200
Default Value:0
“Quality” refers to the amount of data that is added to the symbol for error correction.
The AIM specification refers to it as the ECC value. ECC 50,ECC 80,ECC 100,and
ECC 140 use convolution encoding; ECC 200 uses Reed-Solomon encoding. For new
applications, ECC 200 is recommended. ECC 000-140 should only be used in closed
applications where a single party controls both the production and reading of the
symbols and is responsible for overall system performance.
c = columns to encode
When ECC 0-140 is specified, the number of these values must be odd(9 - 49). And,
when ECC 200 is specified, the number of these values must be even(10, 12…, 26, 32,
36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 120, 132, 144).
Moreover, when this value is set as 0, columns is calculated automatically.
The symbol will be sized to a square if the rows and columns do not match.
r = rows to encode(9 to 49)
When ECC 0-140 is specified, the number of these values must be odd(9 - 49). And,
when ECC 200 is specified, the number of these values must be even(10, 12…, 26, 32,
