It is important that you select the correct version of Code One for the data
you are encoding. If you try to encode data in the wrong version, your
symbol may not print.
If your data lengths vary greatly for different labels, or if you are not sure
which symbology to select, you can select variable Code One version (,m1
= 0). This version lets the printer choose the correct version of Code One
(from A to H) based on the data length. If you know your data lengths are
consistent, or if the printer always chooses the same version, you should
manually select the Code One version to save printer memory.
You may notice that part of your Code One symbols do not contain data.
This occurs because each version of Code One has a fixed size, and the
version large enough to accommodate all of your data may be larger than
you need. This situation does not mean that you should use a version of a
smaller size, because if it is too small to accommodate your data, the
symbol will not print.
