b. Replace
n
with a number ranging from 1
through 512 to identify the bar code field. The
SR
and
SC
parameters specify the exact
location of the bar code field identified by
n
.
c. Replace
L
with the maximum number of
characters in the field. The actual data
provided dynamically during the Execute Form
mode can be less than
L
. It is permitted to
supply no data at all.
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 63.) Do not use the
data field
parameter to enter data when the BF
n;L
parameters are used. However, refer to the
data field
description for available characters
to use during Execute Form mode.
DARK Optional parameter to produce darker bar codes.
Enter DARK. Refer to “Dark Printing” on page 28
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, or use the
CP.DP format.
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, or use
the CP.DP format.
(D)
The printable character (delimiter) identifying the
start and finish of the data field. Enter any printable
character other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a
character used within the data. The same character
must be used on both ends of the data field. It will
not print with the data.
data field
The bar code data. The data field for UCC/EAN-
128 consists of an “application identifier” (AI) of two
to four numbers, followed by data of appropriate
length (variable or fixed) and type (numeric or
alphanumeric). See Table 17 for a list of application
identifiers and their associated data fields.
The FNC1 character is required as the first
character after the start code for UCC/EAN-128 bar
codes, and IGP/PGL will always generate it
automatically. It will appear in the bar code but not
in the human readable field. Do not supply FNC1 in
the data field.
