    Composite bar codes A composite bar code symbol consists of a linear component (encoding the primary identification of the item) associated with an adjacent 2D composite component (encoding supplementary data, such as a batch number or expiration date). The composite symbol always includes a linear component so that the primary identification is readable by all scanning technologies, and so that 2D imagers can use the linear component as a finder pattern for the adjacent 2D composite component.
  • Page 64 Product Code: The product code is a unique code assigned by the manufacturer. Unlike the manufacturer code, which must be assigned by the UCC, the manufacturer is free to assign product codes to each of their products without consulting any other organization.

    FREESCAPE emulation The escape character (decimal 27, hex 1B), found at the beginning of a standard PCL 5 emulation sequence, is an example of binary data. Not all systems are able to send binary data (non-printing characters) to a printer. The FREESCAPE emulation feature provides a way for these systems to redefine the escape character by substituting a user-selected alternative (alternate escape code or AEC).

  • Page 165: Appendix F: Deviations

    This section describes deviations in the Forms and Bar Code Card that are either different than the HP BarDIMM Pro version 3.3A1 (referred to as “HP BDP”), or the Lexmark Bar Code Card version 3.3. (referred to as “LXK BCC”).

    The LXK BCC also performs the exact same way as the HP BDP. The BCE does not support lowercase “a–z” start and stop character input, does not translate to uppercase, and will throw a “Error 12—Invalid Character” error. The BCE is operating per the specs noted above, and does not translate lowercase to uppercase.

    Note: Exact size compatibility of certain 4-State bar code image sizes with previous Lexmark bar code options is not assured. However, the proper order and placement of the bars and spaces is the same, and the bar code will also scan correctly.

    This deviation should be rare. When it does occur, it should not result in the loss of data that can be scanned. Note: Exact size compatibility of certain PDF417 bar code images with previous Lexmark bar code options is not assured. However, the bar code will still scan correctly. If...

    reading equipment may be capable of decoding data in excess of the maximum allowed in the AIM MaxiCode specification. Bar code horizontal alignment Certain UPC and EAN bar codes may not start at the existing PCL cursor position, but may be shifted to the right up to 3–4 mm on the left side, and up to 2 mm on the right side.

    PostScript barcodepath operator The PostScript operator barcodepath does not work as on previous Lexmark Bar Code options. The barcodepath operator used to obtain the outline of the bar code that results from doing a barcodeshow with the same arguments. Because all bar codes are now generated as images, the barcodepath operator does not return any useful information.
