Forms Considerations (continued)
When using bar codes, note the following:
• When using bar codes as part of the form data, make sure that the
control character encoding character in the bar code differs from the
control character encoding character and the switch character in the
Loading Form sequence.
• When using bar codes as part of the fill–in data, make sure that the
control character encoding character of the bar code differs from the
switch character in the Select Form sequence.
• Bar codes must start and end on the same page of a form.
