data

The bar code data. Interleaved 2/5 encodes from 1

through 40 characters. The characters available for

the data field are 0 through 9 (hex 30 through 39,

respectively). If an odd number of characters are

encoded, a leading zero is automatically inserted in

the data field to change the number of characters to

an even number.

(cc)G Terminates the bar code command. Enter the

SFCC for your Code V configuration immediately

followed by any valid command character or G, the

universal sequence terminator.

Interleaved 2/5 Examples

The following command generates the horizontal default ratio Interleaved 2/5

bar code shown below. In the command sequence, graphics mode data is

italicized

and bar code data is boldface. Refer to the “Commands” chapter for

a detailed description of alphanumeric commands.

^PY^-^M10,10,000^KF^

BYK2244595^G^

KF^-^PN^-

^PY^- enabled the graphics command sequence. ^M introduced the standard

alphanumeric command. The character height selected was 1.0 inches and

character width was selected at 1.0 inches. A 0.0 justification value plus 0

additional dots was selected for data placement. ^KF activated Dark Print. ^B

introduced the bar code command. Y selected the standard 10 cpi font to print

the optional readable data field. Letter K selected Interleaved 2/5 with the

default 1:1:3:3 ratio. 2244595 is the bar code data, and ^G terminated the bar

code command sequence. ^KF^- at the end of the bar code sequence turned

off Dark Print, and ^PN^- terminated the graphics mode.
