Special
Description
Character
Used to represent decimal characters 0 to 26 were "X" is the
~X equivalent control code. Example: ~@ = character 0, ~A =
character 1, ~B = character 2, etc...
Represents FNC1 character. When FNC1 appears in the first
position or fifth position when using Structured Append, it would
~1
indicate that the data conforms to the UCC/EAN Application
Identifier Standard.
Represents Structured Append, which is used to link information
from several symbols in a sequence. The "~2" must be followed
~2
by three additional bytes. Consult the Data Matrix Specification
(11/96) ANSI/AIM BC11 for additional information.
This character is only allowed in the first position of the symbol
~3 and indicates the data contains commands for the bar code
reader.
This character is only allowed in the first position of the symbol. If
~5 is used, the header "[)>ascii30 ascii05 ascii29" will be
~5
transmitted by the bar code reader, then the symbol data followed
by trailer data "ascii30 ascii04".
This character is only allowed in the first position of the symbol. If
~6 is used, the header "[)>ascii30 ascii05 ascii29" will be
~6
transmitted by the bar code reader, then the symbol data followed
by trailer data "ascii30 ascii04".
Specifies the Extended Channel Interpretation to be used, where
"NNNNNN" is a value between 000000 and 999999. The ECI is
used for selecting different character sets. For example:
~7NNNNNN
"~7000003" would select ECI number 3, which is the default
character set. Consult the Data Matrix Specification (11/96)
ANSI/AIM BC11 for additional information.
Represents the ASCII encoded by the "NNN" value. For example:
~dNNN
"~d065" would represent the ASCII character "A".
CI text equivalent codes:
4.3.2 PDF-417
The Portable Data File 417 or PDF-417 is a two-dimensional stacked symbology that is
capable of encoding the entire ASCII character set, 2710 digits, and up to 1108 bytes in a
single bar code. The requirements for generating a PDF-417 symbol are the subject data,
placement information, size configuration, rotation, and Error Correcting Code or ECC.
These parameters are set using a PDF-417 unique Format Entry Command used in place of
the standard Format Entry Command, listed below.
