Considerations for ^FD When Using the QR Code:
QR Switches (formatted into the
^FD field data)
mixed mode <D>
D = allows mixing of different types of character modes in one code.
code No. <01 16>
Va lu e = subtracted from the Nth number of the divided code (must be two digits).
No. of divisions <02 16>
Number of divisions (must be two digits).
parity data <1 byte>
Parity data value is obtained by calculating at the input data (the original input data before
divided byte-by-byte through the EX-OR operation).
error correction level <H, Q, M, L>
H = ultra-high reliability level
Q = high reliability level
M = standard level (default)
L = high density level
character Mode <N, A, B, K>
N = numeric
A = alphanumeric
Bxxxx = 8-bit byte mode. This handles the 8-bit Latin/Kana character set in accordance
with JIS X 0201 (character values 0x00 to 0xFF).
xxxx = number of data characters is represented by two bytes of BCD code.
K = Kanji — handles only Kanji characters in accordance with the Shift JIS system
based on JIS X 0208. This means that all parameters after the character mode K should be
16-bit characters. If there are any 8-bit characters (such as ASCII code), an error occurs.
data character string <Data>
Follows character mode or it is the last switch in the
^FD statement.
data input <A, M>
A = Automatic Input (default). Data character string JIS8 unit, Shift JIS. When the input
mode is Automatic Input, the binary codes of 0x80 to 0x9F and 0xE0 to 0xFF cannot be
set.
M = Manual Input
Two types of data input mode exist: Automatic (A) and Manual (M). If A is specified, the
character mode does not need to be specified. If M is specified, the character mode must be
specified.
