Special Notes
1. When the code words per line and the number of rows
per symbol (“dd” and ‘ee”) are set to all zeroes, the prin-
ter will calculate the optimum configuration.
2. If the product of the values entered for “dd” and “ee” are
not equal to or less than the value of “fff” (i.e.,“ffff” is
greater that “dd” x “ee”), an error will occur and the
symbol will not be printed. It is recommended that these
values each be set to “000” and the printer be allowed
to automatically calculate the optimum values.
3. The values for “dd” and “ee” need to be made larger if
the security level is increased.
4. The maximum data length is 2700 characters, but may
be less depending upon:
- the minimum module dimension (“aa”)
- the security level specified by “c”.
- the number of data characters
5. The Reference Point of the PDF417 symbol is the upper-
left corner.
6. The <ESC>F Sequential Numbering command cannot
be used with this command.
7. The <ESC>E Line Feed command cannot be used with
this command.
8. The Macro and Truncated PDF417 symbols are not sup-
ported.
9. The values 00H thru 1FH can be specified as print data.
10. This command can be stored in a format.
11. The <ESC>R Rotate command can be used.
