Instruction manual

Defining Field Options 4-7
Using Option 52 (PDF417 Width/Length)
This option defines the image width or length of a PDF417 bar code. If you define a fixed
number of columns (width), the bar code expands in length. If you define a fixed number of
rows (length), the bar code expands in width.
Column value does not include start/stop or left/right indicator columns.
If this option does not immediately follow the PDF417 bar code field, the default settings are
used. You can only use this option once per PDF417 bar code field.

R3. row/column Indicates if you are defining the number of rows or columns.

C Column
If you specify rows, the bar code expands in columns, or vice versa.
R4. dimension The number of rows or columns defined for the bar code. The default is 4. Valid
values:
3 to 90 for rows
1 to 30 for columns
Example R,52,C,10 |
Defines the column width of 10, which expands the PDF417 bar code length by 10.
Using Option 53 (Optional Settings for Aztec)
You can use Option 53 to set the error control level, enable ECI data, enable a menu symbol,
and add appended data to an Aztec bar code.
Note: Typically, these settings are not used. When using Option 53, the printer may take
longer to image the bar code and require more time to print the format.
