6.3 Two-Dimensional Code

This printer and APD support two-dimensional code (PDF417 format.) APD can print two-
dimensional code the same as other barcode (ex. EAN13, etc....); however, it can't adjust the
detail setting (ex. step number, module height and width, etc....) The adjusting is done with the
"Two-Dimensional Code Parameter Setting Tool." The tool is provided with APD. This tool is
for APD printing and is not for OPOS and direct printing (using ESC/POS commands). See the
"Two-Dimensional Code Parameter Setting Tool User's Manual" for details about this tool.
