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.
data field The characters available for the data field are 0 through
9 (30 through 39 hex, respectively).
For UPC–E, eleven digits are expected: Enter the
number system character first by entering 0; followed
by the five–digit Manufacturer Number; ending with
the five–digit Item Number. The Manufacturing
Number and Item Number sequences must conform to
one of the number pattern sequences shown in
Table 5–17.
The IGP/PGL will compress the 11 characters of data
down to the six encoded UPC–E symbol characters.
Include the 2– or 5–digit add–on data within the
delimiter at the end of this data field.
For UPC–E0, six digits are expected. These six digits
must be a valid compressed UPC–E number.
Otherwise, Error 96 (bar code data field has illegal
number) will be generated.
PDF Optional parameter which affects printing of the
human readable data field. The data field will print
automatically unless the PDF–suppress command is
specified in the FONT parameter. UCR-B characters
can be printed above or below the bar code symbol.
This parameter is not allowed if a null data field is
specified. If the PDF is not entered in the UPC–E
command format, the data field automatically prints in
OCR–B.
