  • Page 10: About Pcl Barcode Flash

    1.5 About PCL Barcode Flash 1.5.1 Overview PCL Barcode Flash uses a special feature of Kyocera FS, KM and TASKalfa devices: the central unit – consisting of the PowerPC processor, motherboard and memory – normally used for calculation of the print job can also be used for programming purposes via a separate interface, the Application Programming Interface (API).
  • Page 11 Stack codes essentially consist of up to 90 rather flat linear codes “stacked one on top of the other”, so that a data density several times higher can be generated without allowing the dimensions of the codes to become excessively large. Normally, data densities fifteen times higher are achieved than in the case of simple linear codes.

  • Page 29: Control With Pcl

    3.2 Control with PCL PCL Barcode Flash uses PCL font activation sequences to control barcodes. The following instructions assume a basic knowledge of PCL programming. If you are not yet confident with using this, we recommend that you read the manuals mentioned in the previous chapter in which programming in PCL is looked at in more detail in addition to PRESCRIBE programming.

  • Page 30: Stopping Barcode Mode

    <CR> (ASCII 13),< LF> (ASCII 10), <FF> (ASCII 12), <Esc> (ASCII 27) Any barcode which permits only numeric characters according to the standard is valid as a numeric barcode. Barcodes which also permit alphanumeric characters must not be closed with the space character (ASCII 32) as the stop character even if the base data contains only numeric characters.

  • Page 31: Rules For Base Data

    This example prints the base data “12345” as Datamatrix code. <Esc>&p5X makes it understood that the five characters following in the sequence belong to this. Any characters from the complete ASCII character set could have appeared instead of “12345”. 3.2.3 Rules for base data Rules are established for each individual barcode by means of standards which have to be observed when the base data is sent.

  • Page 32: Further Parameters And Options

    3.2.6 Further parameters and options Note The following description of parameters and options applies to one- dimensional barcodes. Different or additional rules apply to some barcodes, primarily two-dimensional ones. These are described in the chapter entitled, “B ”. These barcodes ARCODES AND ATRIX CODES WITH DIFFERENT PARAMETERS are Datamatrix, QR Code and Australia 4-state.

  • Page 38: Barcodes And Matrix Codes With Different Parameters

    3.3 Barcodes and Matrix codes with different parameters 3.3.1 Datamatrix Datamatrix code has a rectangular or square structure which is made up of individual square elements (black/white). The delimiting lines which are drawn on two adjacent sides and consist of alternate black and white elements on the opposite sides are characteristic.
  • Page 39 individual module. The minimum size of a module is 1 dot, while the maximum permitted is 1000 dots at 600 dpi. The best read results are generally achieved at a symbol size of around 8 to 15 dots at 600 dpi. When making your selection, elements such as paper quality and colour, reading distance, scanning technique and light conditions are to be taken into account.
  • Page 40 Rectangular symbols Symbol no Rows Columns Data capacity Num. Alphanum. Binary Example of a rectangular Datamatrix symbol (symbol no. 29) Datamatrix codes can be called with both PRESCRIBE and PCL commands. Syntax in PCL The T parameter always has to be entered. Another three optional parameters can also be entered.
  • Page 41 5,10h: The software selects the smallest possible symbol which can accommodate the data, but it will not use any symbol smaller than no. 5 or larger than no. 10. If the data cannot be accommodated in symbol no. 10, an error message is printed instead of the symbol.
  • Page 42 Syntax in PRESCRIBE If you are not confident with programming in PRESCRIBE, we recommend that you read the “PRESCRIBE II ”. ROGRAMMING ANUAL The BARC command is used. The syntax described in the PRESCRIBE manual for the BARC command is valid for the one-dimensional barcodes supported. As you will see below, the syntax for two-dimensional barcodes is slightly different.

  • Page 43: Datamatrix Mode For Printing From Sap

    The amount of base data has to be stated only if the base data is passed in the first of the ways mentioned below: 1. By means of an attachment after the semicolon that closes the BARC command, in this case the number of bytes has to be stated. 2.
  • Page 44 a FONT or MAP command must occur. Example: BARC 120,10,10,14; TEXT „0123456789“; TEXT „0123456789“; The advantage of this mode: As lengthier useful data often have to be printed with Datamatrix, cases may occur in SAP where a single row cannot accommodate all of the useful data. If this should be the case, one of the lines would not be filled with useful data and the useful data would be disrupted by non-printable characters (e.g.

  • Page 45: Qr Code

    3.3.3 QR Code This matrix code was developed by the company Denso and is particularly widespread in Japan, although more recently it has been used within the industry throughout the world. Like the Datamatrix code, the QR Code can also be printed in a variety of sizes and resolutions.
  • Page 46 Binary: All 256 ASCII characters are accepted. Kanji: Practically all Kanji characters can be displayed. They must be available as two-byte characters in JIS X 0208 shift mode. If their encoding does not comply with the rules of the JIS Shift 0208 standard, instead of the symbol PCL Barcode Flash generates an error message: “Unknown Kanji”.
  • Page 47 selecting the error correction level, the following applies as when selecting the encoding: If the symbol size and the read speed are not particularly important for your application, then you are recommended to select 30 %. Version 40, for example, with an error correction level of 7% is able to accommodate either 7089 digits, 4296 alphanumeric characters, 2953 binary bytes or 1817 Kanji characters.
  • Page 48 Examples: 8h: Version 8 will always be used. If the data cannot be accommodated, an error message will be printed instead of the symbol. 11,30h: The software selects the smallest possible version to accommodate the data, but does not use a version lower than 11 or a version higher than 30. If the data cannot be accommodated in version 30, an error message will be printed instead of the symbol.
  • Page 49 v parameter: Inversion 1 = Symbol is not printed inverted 2 = Symbol is printed inverted If you do not specify the v parameter, then 1 is used by default, i.e. not inverted. Examples: <Esc>(s4p10h1v12b3s24861TDaten <Esc>(s12,15h2v24861TDaten The following example including a print-out: <Esc>(s4p1v30b3s24861T This is a QR Code symbol.
  • Page 50 The module size unit was previously specified using the UNIT command. We recommend that you use dots (pixels). Lowest symbol version Values from 1 to 40. For an explanation of the meaning of this parameter, cf. the explanatory notes on the h parameter in the section “S PCL”.

  • Page 51: Maxicode

    Example 3 !R!UNIT D;BARC 102,10,13,14,2,4;<Base Data>WRED;EXIT; In this instance also, it is not necessary to specify the number of bytes. Alphanumeric encoding and an error correction level of 30 % is used in these examples. Note BARC 102 cannot be called from PRESCRIBE macros. 3.3.4 MaxiCode MaxiCode is a matrix code developed by UPS.
  • Page 52 Syntax in PCL The T-parameter must always be entered. No other parameters are specified with MaxiCode. T-parameter: Identifier for MaxiCode 24800T MaxiCode is initiated by the sequence: <Esc>(s24800T Additional parameters are not necessary in this sequence; apart from that, the same rules apply as those used for other barcodes.

  • Page 58 The level (degree) of error correction can also be selected by the user. Nine levels are available (0-8), whereby level 0 means ‘no error correction desired’. Depending on the application and on the quality of the paper used, however, a higher level should be used.
  • Page 59 Level Error correction words Example: <Esc>(s3p24850T<data> This entry means that you have selected level 3, in other words sixteen error correction words. The barcode module uses this regardless of the size of the useful data. However, you also have the option of making the number of error correction words dependent on the size of the useful data.
  • Page 60 Layout parameters The following applies for the parameters below: With these parameters, you can set four predefined values as sub- parameters. These must be separated by commas.

  • Page 65: Error Messages

    3.4 Error messages In practice, now and again errors occur when programming barcode activations, particularly during testing of an application. Because the least defective barcodes stand out without the appropriate reading device, error messages are an integrated part of the barcode solution. These are printed out in place of the barcode symbol to make the task of detecting errors easier for you.
