Programming Manual 4. Bar Code Specifications
SATO RISC Printers 159
Note:
1. When the code words per line and the number of rows per symbol
(“dd” and“ee”) are set to all zeroes, the printer will calculate the
optimum configuration.
2. If the product of the values entered for “dd” and “ee” are not
equal to or less than the value of “fff” (i.e.,“ffff” is greater that
“dd” x “ee”), an error will occur and the symbol will not be
printed. It is recommended that these values each be set to “000”
and the printer be allowed to automatically calculate the optimum
values.
3. The values for “dd” and “ee” need to be made larger if the secu-
rity level is increased.
4. The maximum data length is 2700 characters, but may be less
depending upon:
- the minimum module dimension (“aa”)
- the security level specified by “c”.
- the number of data characters
5. The Reference Point of the PDF417 symbol is the upper-left cor-
ner.
6. The <ESC>F Sequential Numbering command cannot be used
with this command.
7. The <ESC>E Line Feed command cannot be used with this com-
mand.
8. The Macro and Truncated PDF417 symbols are not supported.
9. The values 00H thru 1FH can be specified as print data.
10.This command can be stored in a format.
11.The <ESC>R Rotate command can be used.
12.The print height of the symbol will vary depending upon the data
specified; numeric only, alpha only or alphanumeric.
