                  to 

 

 

xxx ------ xxx:  Data string of link field No. 99 

 

 

The Data Command for the MaxiCode is described later.   

 Explanation (1) 

Data 

check 

 

 

 

If there is data in the data row, which does not meet the type of bar code, the bar 
code will not be drawn.  If wrong code selection takes place in the data row of 
CODE128 (without auto code selection), the bar code will not be drawn. 

 

 

 

If there is data different from the one designated using the format ID when Data 
Matrix is used, the symbol is not drawn. 

 

 

 

If the Bar Code Data Command is sent without entering any data string for the 
specified bar code number (e.g. [ESC]RB00;[LF][NUL]), the previous data string of 
the same bar code number (No. 00 in the case of the above example) is deleted.   

 

 

 

In the case of the bar code type of which data length is specified (e.g. Binary mode 
of QR code), the previously drawn bar code cannot be deleted just by setting the 
data length to zero.  To delete the previous bar code, be sure to send the 
command without entering any data string.   

 

 

(2)  No. of digits of data 

 

 

 

When data exceeding the maximum number of digits is sent, the excess data will 
be discarded.    For the maximum number of digits for each bar code, see below. 

 

 

 

  Data Matrix, PDF417, QR code: 

2000 digits 

 

 

 

  CP code: 

473 digits 

   

 

MicroPDF417: 

366 

digits 

   

 

MaxiCode: 

93 

digits 

 

 

 

  Customer bar code: 

20 digits 

 

 

 

  Highest priority customer bar code: 

19 digits 

 

 

 

  POSTNET: 

5, 9, 11 digits 

 

 

 

  ROYAL MAIL 4 STATE CUSTOMER CODE:  12 digits 

 

 

 

  KIX CODE: 

18 digits 

 

 

 

  Bar codes other than the above 

126 digits 

 

 

 

When the number of digits does not correspond to the bar code type, the bar code 
is not drawn. 

 

 

 

For the MaxiCode, the maximum number of digits varies according to the mode.  
In mode 2 or 3 and mode 4 or 6, the maximum number of digits is 84 and 93, 
respectively.
