● Parameter
a {Min Module Width Dimension} = valid range : 01~09 (dot)
b {Min Module Vertical Dimension} = valid range : 01~24 (dot)
c {Security Level} = valid range : 0~8
d {Data Code Word Number per line}(cols) = valid range : 01~30
00 : auto(horizontal size is valid for change from specified
data number)
e {Line Number per Symbol} (rows) = valid range : 03~90
00 : auto (vertical size is valid for change from specified data
number)
f {Data Digit Number} = valid range : 0001~2681
g {Print Data} = data
h {PDF Code Type} = when omit : PDF417
T : Shortened Type
M : Micro PDF417

[Supplementary Explanation]
1.Even if 01, 02 dot specification of min module width dimension is valid, it may not be read by the scanner.
2.Even if 01, 02, 03 dot specification of min module vertical dimension is valid, it may not be read by the scanner.
3.If the data code word per 1 line and line number per symbol is specified at 00, the vertical horizontal size from print data number is (aspect ratio) is 1 : 2.
4.When security level is enlarged, it is necessary to specify largely with the line number per symbol or data code word number per 1 line.
5.The max value of data number is 2681, but there is difference among min module dimension, security level and print data type specification.
6.Printing will not be performed if parameter specification and data number is inconsistent.
7.When micro PDF417 is specified with PDF code type, line numbers of as per symbol is defined by specifying data code word number as per 1 line.
By doing so, the max value of data digit numbers can be defined. Details can be referred to next page, “Symbol Size and Data Number of Micro
PDF417”
8.When micro PDF417 is specified by PDF code type, specification of security level will become invalid.
[Point]
1.Cannot be sequential number.
2.Print position cannot be specified by auto new line starting.
3.The print specification of 00H~FFH is valid.
4.Valid in format registration.
5.Enlarge the minimum module dimension to upgrade the print quality.
6.Enlarge the value of security level to improve the reading ratio.
7.The print height is different only when it is at alphabet, numeric and mixed alphanumeric.
