Special Notes 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 security
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
corner.
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
command.
8. The values 00
thru 1F can be specified as print data.
9. This command can be stored in a format.
10. The print height of the symbol will vary depending upon the data
specified; numeric only, alpha only or alphanumeric.
