Code 128 Character Set (Ebcdic) - Printronix S828 Programmer's Manual

Programmer Manual
Notes: If bar codes with human readable interpretation (HRI) are placed too close to the page edges, the
human readable characters may fall outside the physical medium boundaries. If the HRI falls outside the
physical medium boundaries, the characters may not print and a Position Check error, X'041100', may occur.
To ensure that the human-readable characters print, choose X and Y parameter values that allow sufficient
space for the characters to print. Some guidelines are:
1. For bar code types UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, and EAN-13, choose X and Y coordinates that place the bar
code at least 3.88 mm (0.15 in.) from both the top and left edges of the page.
2. For bar code types UPC Two Digit Add-On and UPC Five Digit Add-On, choose a Y coordinate that places
the bar code at least 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) from the top edge of the page.
3. For Codabar bar codes, the data must include the START and STOP characters. For Code 128 bar codes,
the table on the following page should be used to determine the hex value of the desired character.
The symbol reference point must be inside the bar code medium presentation space and must lie within the
logical page.
