Instruction manual

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. The default is 1.
B15. segment Width of the segment – only for use with 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. The default is 22.
Example B,3,12,V,50,40,1,2,80,7,L,0 p
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 without any 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.
Defining Non-Printable Text Fields
Non-printable text fields allow you to enter data without printing it in its
entered form. Typically, non-printable fields “hold” data that later combines
with other fields to form a merged field. Define non-printable text fields
before you define the field where the information prints.
When you copy this field into another field, the maximum number of
characters for the final field is 2710. Allow only as many characters as you
need, because extra characters use up space. Also, if you are copying into
a bar code field, the maximum number of characters in the destination bar
code is determined by the bar code specification (UPCA-12, EAN-13, etc.).
You need to apply field options to manipulate the text entered in this field.
For example, you may want to copy data from this field into another field.
See “Option 4 Copy Data” in Chapter 4 for more information.
