Behavior
Specified Length – The upper case Z identifies a PDF-417 barcode with a string 4-
digit length specifier. This allows values 0x00 through 0xFF to be used within the data
strings without conflicting with the DPL format record terminators. The four-digit
decimal data byte count immediately follows the 4-digit column position field. This
value includes all of the data following the byte count field, but does not include itself.

Result
Prints a PDF-417 Barcode with Byte Count Specifier.
From the example above, the barcode's data stream
(1Z00000001501000015F1000000pdf<CR>417) includes a Byte Count Specifier (the
portion in bold), where 0015 equals the four-digit decimal data byte count and
includes all bytes that follow until the end of the barcode data. Field termination is set
by the byte count. <STX>, <CR>, and <0x0D> all represent single byte values of
hexadecimal 02, 0D, and 0D, respectively. The PDF-417 barcode produced encodes
"pdf<CR>417", and prints a line of text: Barcode Z.
