Monarch 9906 - Structured Append Mode; Structured Append QR Code Packet

6-8 Packet Reference Manual
Structured Append Mode
QR Code offers a mode called structured append (or concatenated) that allows you to collect
data from multiple QR Code symbols and use that data elsewhere. For example, the components
of a sub-assembly can have individual QR Codes and the QR Code for the entire assembly
contains all the data from the individual codes. This mode also requires certain parameters at the
beginning of all batch data.
Syntax "mode_id code# #of_div parity, error_cor mask#
data_input char"
mode_id Mode identifier. Use D to indicate the structured append (or
concatenated) mode.
code# Code number of the individual symbol in the concatenated set. You
must use a two-digit number in decimal.
#of_div Total number of symbols in this concatenated set. You must use a two-
digit number in decimal.
parity Parity byte. You must use a two-digit number in hexadecimal. There is
no standard parity byte.
error_cor Level of error correction. Some damaged bar codes may still be
scannable if the error correction is high enough. Options:
H Ultra high reliability level
Q High reliability level
M Standard level
L High density level
Note: As you increase the error correction level, the maximum number of
characters (in the field) decreases.
mask# Mask number. Undefined. Leave blank or use 0.
data_input Type of data input. When using Automatic, do not specify the next
parameter for char (type of characters). Options:
A Automatic
M Manual
char Type of characters. This parameter is only required when data_input
is Manual. Options:
A Alphanumeric
B Binary
K Kanji
N Numeric
Note: In binary mode, the number of characters must be represented by the 4-
digit number in decimal.
Example 1,"D0205E9,Q0A," |
C,"B006qrcode," | }
Defines the structured append mode (D) for QR Code. This is symbol (02) of a concatenated set
containing (05) symbols. The parity byte is E9. The error correction level is Q, which provides a
high reliability. Use 0 for the mask number. The data input mode is Automatic. The type of
characters are binary (B) and there will be six (06) data characters (qrcode).
