Example of a rectangular Datamatrix symbol (symbol no. 29)
Datamatrix codes can be called with both PRESCRIBE and PCL commands.
Syntax in PCL
The T parameter always has to be entered. Another three optional parameters can
also be entered. You can enter the parameters in the Escape sequence in any order.
If PCL Barcode Flash encounters illegal values in one of the parameters, i.e. values
outside the ranges mentioned below, an error message is printed instead of the
Datamatrix symbol.
T parameter: identifier for Datamatrix
24820
h parameter: symbol number
Legal values: 1 to 30. Here, you can select either a specific symbol number or a
range of symbol numbers separated by a comma. If you do not enter a value, PCL
Barcode Flash selects the smallest symbol possible which can accommodate the
data.
Examples:
8h: No symbol other than no. 8 is used. If the data cannot be accommodated in this,
an error message is printed instead of the symbol.
