Defining Fields 3-19
B12. field rot Field rotation. Field rotation rotates the whole field, not just the
characters. Rotation is affected by the pivot point, which varies
depending on how text is justified. Lower left corner of field is the
pivot point. 0 is the default. Options:
0 Top of field points to top of supply (use for MaxiCode)
1 Top of field points to left of supply
2 Top of field points to bottom of supply
3 Top of field points to right of supply
Note: Serial bar codes with an 8-dot narrow element do not automatically print at
2.5 IPS. Serial bar codes printed at speeds greater than 2.5 IPS may not
scan properly.
B13. type Select from the bar code family. This parameter only applies to the
GS1 DataBar bar code. 1 is the default. For other bar codes, do not
include this parameter. Options:
1 GS1 DataBar 14
2 GS1 DataBar 14 Truncated
3 GS1 DataBar 14 Stacked
4 GS1 DataBar 14 Stacked Omni directional
5 GS1 DataBar Limited
6 GS1 DataBar Expanded
7 UPCA
8 UPCE
9 EAN13
10 EAN8
11 UCC/EAN128 and CC A/B
12 UCC/EAN128 and CC C
B14. sep_height Height of the separator between the linear bar code and 2D bar code.
This parameter only applies to the GS1 DataBar bar code. For other
bar codes, do not include this parameter. The value is 1 or 2. 1 is the
default.
B15. segment Width of the segment – This parameter only applies to the GS1
DataBar family types listed in B13. For other bar codes, do not include
this parameter. The range is even numbers from 2 to 22. 1 is the
default.
Example B,3,12,V,50,40,1,2,80,7,L,0 |
Defines a bar code field (field #3) with 12 characters of variable length starting at row 150,
column 40. A UPCA bar code with a density of 2 and a height of 80 is used. The check digit and
number system are shown at the bottom. The bar code is left aligned with no field rotation.
Example B,1,30,V,5,5,38,4,0,0,L,0,1,2,22 |
Defines a bar code field (field #3) with up to 30 characters of variable length starting at row 5,
column 5. The GS1 DataBar uses a density of 4. No text is shown with the bar code. The bar
code is left-aligned with no field rotation.
