Optional parameter to magnify (horizontally
expand) the bar code symbol. The magnification
default value is X1. As required for scanning, enter
a magnification value from Table 8 to increase the
magnification. Increasing the magnification adjusts

reach the minimum height specification that allows
it to fit on a 6 LPI line.

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 provided dynamically during the Execute
Form mode; the data is not specified during the
Create Form mode. To use this field, perform the
following steps:
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

.
c. Replace
L
with a number equaling the total
number of characters in the field. The data
field must be numeric and contain exactly 5, 9
or 11 digits.
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

parameters are used. However, refer to the
data field
description for available characters.

codes. Enter DARK. Refer to “Dark Printing” on
page 28 for more information.
