Example
R,50,4,8,4,4,8
p
Creates a custom bar code density with a narrow element of 4
dots, a wide element of 8 dots, a gap of 4 dots, 4 additional dot
widths for the narrow bar code space, and 8 additonal dot widths
for the wide bar code space (if this is a Code 39 or Codabar bar
code).
Option 51 (PDF417 Security/Truncation)
You can define a security level and choose whether or not to
truncate a PDF417 bar code. Higher security levels add data to a
bar code, improving scan reliability. Some damaged bar codes
may still be scannable if the security level is high enough. You
can use this option to create standard PDF417 bar codes or use
the truncated option to create a narrower bar code. This option
can appear only once per PDF417 field, in any order, following the
bar code field.
As the security level is increased, so is the size of your PDF417
bar code. For each level increased, the bar code will double in
size.
