Decimal Hex Content Description
Notes: If bar codes with human readable interpretation (HRI) are placed too close to the page edges, the human
readable characters may fall outside the physical medium boundaries. If the HRI falls outside the physical medium
boundaries, the characters may not print and a Position Check error, X'041100', may occur.
To ensure that the human-readable characters print, choose X and Y parameter values that allow sufficient space for
the characters to print. Some guidelines are:
1. For bar code types UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, and EAN-13, choose X and Y coordinates that place the bar code at
least 3.88 mm (0.15 in.) from both the top and left edges of the page.
2. For bar code types UPC Two Digit Add-On and UPC Five Digit Add-On, choose a Y coordinate that places the
bar code at least 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) from the top edge of the page.
3. For Codabar bar codes, the data must include the START and STOP characters. For Code 128 bar codes, the
table on the following page should be used to determine the hex value of the desired character.
The symbol reference point must be inside the bar code medium presentation space and must lie within the logical
page.
