[Notes]
1. It is possible to specify 01 or 02 dots as the minimum module width, however, the code may not be read by a scanner.
2. It is possible to specify 01, 02 or 03 dots as the minimum module height, however, the code may not be read by a scanner.
3. The ratio of vertical and horizontal size (aspect ratio) is 1:2 according to the number of print data when the number of data
codewords per 1 line and lines per symbol are specified as 00.
4. It is necessary to specify bigger lines per symbol or number of data codewords per 1 line when bigger security level is
specified.
5. The maximum value for the number of data digit is 2681, however, this varies depending on the minimum module size,
security level, and type of the print data.
6. The code will not be printed when a parameter specification or number of print data does not match.
7. When MicroPDF is specified in the PDF code type, the lines per symbol is decided according to the number of data
codewords per 1 line. And the maximum value of the number of data digit will be decided, too. Refer to the "Symbol size and
number of data for Micro PDF417" in the next page.
8. The security level is disabled when MicroPDF is specified in the PDF code type.
[Important]
This command is for existing models. Using PDF417 command <2D10> and Micro PDF417command <2D12> is recommended
[Remarks]
1. The sequential numbering is invalid.
2. Print position specification by auto line feed is not available.
3. Print specification to 00H~FFH is available.
4. Format registration is available.
5. Specify bigger minimum module size when improving the print quality.
6. Specify a bigger security level value when improving the scanner readability.
7. The height of the code varies when the data are only alphabet or only numeric, and when the data are alphanumeric.
* The symbol size of Micro PDF417 is fixed to the following 34 types.
