Chapter 3 Bar Codes
BF
n;L
Optional parameters for assigning a dynamic bar
code data field location on a form and for
designating the length of the data field. With these
parameters, the actual data for the bar code data
field is dynamically provided during the Execute
Form mode; the data is not specified during the
Create Form mode. To use this field:
a. Enter BF.
b. Replace
n
with a number ranging from 1
through 512 to identify the bar code field. The
SR
and
SC
parameters specify the exact
location of the bar code field identified by
n
.
c. Replace
L
with a number equaling the total
number of characters in the field. (The actual
data provided dynamically during the Execute
Form mode can be less than
L
.)
d. The information for the data field is entered
dynamically during the Execute Form mode.
(Refer to “Execute Form: Dynamic Bar Code
Data” on page 63.) Do not use the
data field
parameter to enter data when the BF
n;L
parameters are used. However, refer to the
data field
description for available characters.
DARK Optional parameter to produce darker looking bar
codes. Enter DARK. Refer to “Dark Printing” on
page 28 for more information.
SR
Defines the starting row for the bar code. Enter a
value ranging from row 1 to one less than the
length of the form. Character row or dot row is
specified based on the Scale command (page 83),
or use the CP.DP format (page 26).
SC
Defines the starting column of the bar code. Enter a
value ranging from column 1 to one less than the
width of the form. Character column or dot column
is specified based on the Scale command (page
83), or use the CP.DP format (page 26).
(D)
The printable character (delimiter) identifying the
start and finish of the data field. Enter any printable
character other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a
character used within the data. The same character
must be used at both ends of the data field, but it
will not print with the data.
