STOP
BARCODE The Bar Code command; enter BARCODE.
C128A, C128B or C128C
Designates bar code type; enter C128A, C128B or
C128C.
DIR Optional parameter that allows for rotating a
barcode. Enter CW for clockwise rotation. Enter
CCW or VSCAN for counter-clockwise rotation.
Enter INV for inverted rotation. If
DIR is not
entered, the barcode is horizontally oriented.
MAG Optional parameter to magnify (horizontally
expand) the bar code symbol. The magnification
default value is X1. Increasing the magnification
adjusts printed character density as shown in Table
8 or Table 9. You can also use XR or XRD as
defined on page 89. (You must specify 8 digits for
MAG for variable ratio.)
H
n [ .m ] Optional parameter to adjust the overall height
(vertical expansion) of the bar code symbol
(including the upper and lower 0.1-inch guard
bands and any human readable data). Height
adjustments are made in 0.1-inch increments; enter
H and a value from 3 to 99 to select height
adjustments from 0.3 to 9.9 inches. The default
value is 0.9 inch. The [
.m ] provides an additional
number of dots for the bar code height. (Dots are in
the current dot scale.)
NOTE: If 0.3 inches is the selected height, the PDF cannot be included.
BF
n;L Optional parameters for assigning a dynamic bar
code data field location on a form and for
designating the length of the data field. With these
parameters, 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, perform the
following steps:
a. Enter BF.
b. Replace
n with a number ranging from 1 to
512 to identify the bar code field. The
SR and
SC parameters specify the exact location of
the bar code field identified by
n .
