4-6 Packet Reference Manual
R6. nar_space Additional dot width of the narrow bar code space. (Code 39 and Codabar only).
Range: 1 to 99.
R7. wide_space Additional dot width of the wide bar code space. (Code 39 and Codabar only).
Range: 1 to 99.
Example R,50,4,8,4,4,8 |
Creates a custom bar code density with a narrow element of 4 dots, a wide element of 8 dots,
a gap of 4 dots, 4 additional dot widths for the narrow bar code space, and 8 additional dot
widths for the wide bar code space (if this is a Code 39 or Codabar bar code).
Example B,1,40,V,100,100,32,1,0,8,L,0 |
R,50,2,10 |
Creates a custom PDF417 bar code density. The narrow element width is 2 dots and the height
is 10 dots.
Using Option 51 (PDF417 Security/Truncation)
You can define a security level and choose whether or not to truncate a PDF417 bar code.
Higher security levels add data to a bar code, improving scan reliability. Some damaged bar
codes may still be scannable if the security level is high enough. You can use this option to
create standard PDF417 bar codes or use the truncated option to create a narrower bar code.
This option can appear only once per PDF417 field, in any order, following the bar code field.
As the security level is increased, so is the size of your PDF417 bar code. For each level
increased, the bar code doubles in size.
Syntax R,51,security,stand/default |
R1. R Option Header.
R2. 51 Indicates Option 51.
R3. security Security level ranges from 0 to 8 (0 is the default).
Higher security levels add data to a bar code, improving scan reliability. Some
damaged bar codes may still be scannable if the security level is high enough.
R4. stand/def Truncation selector. Valid values:
S (default) a standard PDF417 bar code
T truncated
Example R,51,2,S |
Defines a security level of 2 for a standard PDF417 bar code.
