Special Notes
SATO Programming Reference
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 "f f f f"(i.e. "f f f f" is greater than "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 auto-
matically 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 depend-
ing 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
H
9. This command can be stored in a format.
10. The print height of the symbol will vary depending upon the data speci-
fied; numeric only, alpha only or alphanumeric.
11. For module dimensions less than "4", symbol quality may be degraded.
Section 5: Two-Dimensional Symbols
can be specified as print data.
