Purpose  This is an argument for the c12 command that customizes the PDF417 bar code.

Syntax  This parameter, which defaults to 0, is the truncate flag. When set, the bar code will 
print without right row indicators and with a one-module wide stop character.

Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with 

APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.

It enables you to enable printing the symbol in truncated form or to disable printing in 

truncated form.

Default: m3 = 0
Values for ,m3,

 = 

disables truncating

 = 

enables truncating

It is highly recommended that you use the default setting for 

,m3

 in order to reduce errors and 

maintain a better reading performance.

This shows the maximum allowable characters for the 3 character sets.

Important  Use these guidelines. Due to the fact that 2-dimensional symbols encode data by 
compressing it, the capacity varies due to the data being encoded.
