For ECC-200, format ID has no meaning and is
ignored. Instead, you can enter data of any type
(ASCII 0-255) and it will be automatically optimized
into the proper encoding scheme. See the "Special
Characters Using SO" section for examples of
methods to enter special characters such as FNC1
into the data stream.
The maximum number of data depend on three
factors: (1) size of the matrix, (2) ECC level, and (3)
type of data. The size of the matrix is automatically
chosen by VGL unless the parameters of row and/
or column are supplied (see C n and R n
parameters). The maximum number of data can
then be found by finding the proper table based on
ECC type. For each different valid matrix
combination, the maximum number of data are
given for numeric, alphanumeric, and full 8-byte
data. You do not have to enter the maximum; a pad
character is automatically inserted into the barcode
when necessary.
(cc)G
Terminates the bar code command. Enter the
SFCC for your VGL configuration followed by any
valid command character or G, the universal
sequence terminator.
