Bar Codes5–68
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 4–88), or use the CP.DP
format (page 4–7).
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 Enter the characters of the bar code data, restricted to
exactly 12 digits. If the 2– or 5–digit add–on data
option is used, include this data at the end of the data
field. The characters available for the data field are 0
through 9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively). The first
character is interpreted as the number system character.
The left side of the data field (or lower side on
vertically oriented symbols) can be encoded in either
format A or format B as determined by the value of the
number system character. (A bar code character is not
produced for the number system character.)
The number system character is derived from the left
side data field encoding. The right side of the data field
(or upper side on vertically oriented symbols) and
check digit are always encoded in format C.
Table 5–15 defines the left side data field format based
on the number system character.
