5–39Bar Codes
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 4–88), or
use the CP.DP format (page 4–7).
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 is not
printed with the data.
data field Contains the bar code characters. A null data field (no
characters) is permitted. The length of the data field is
variable; however, the maximum length is usually
limited to 32 characters to minimize potential reading
errors.
PDF Optional parameter to enable printing of the human
readable data field. Enter PDF to print the data field. If
the parameter is not used, the human readable data will
not print. This parameter is not allowed if a null data
field is specified.
LOC Optional parameter to identify the location of the
printable data field. The default value is B, locating the
human readable data below the bar code. A locates the
printable data field above bar code. To compensate for
printing the 0.1–inch high data, the height of the bar
code body is reduced 0.1 inch.
FONT Optional parameter to select the font for the human
readable data field. The default value is N, selecting
the normal ASCII 10 cpi font. Enter O to select the
OCR–A 10 cpi font; enter X to select the OCR–B 10
cpi type font.
STOP Ends the Bar Code command while the IGP/PGL
continues in the Create Form Mode. Enter STOP. If
STOP is not entered, an error message results.
