Effects of ^BY on ^BX
w = module width (no effect)
r = ratio (no effect)
h = height of symbol
If the dimensions of individual symbol elements are not specified in the
^BD command,
the height of symbol value is divided by the required rows/columns, rounded, limited to a
minimum value of one, and used as the dimensions of individual symbol elements.
Field Data (^FD) for ^BX
Quality 000 to 140
•The \& and || can be used to insert carriage returns, line feeds, and the backslash, similar to
the PDF417. Other characters in the control character range can be inserted only by using
^FH. Field data is limited to 596 characters for quality 0 to 140. Excess field data causes
no symbol to print; if
^CV is active, INVALID-L prints. The field data must correspond to
a user-specified format ID or no symbol prints; if
^CV is active, INVALID-C prints.
• The maximum field sizes for quality 0 to 140 symbols are shown in the table in the g
parameter.
