Compressed data formats
The Forms and Bar Code Card accepts data for symbologies in either compressed or uncompressed
format. The incoming data is analyzed to determine if it is compressed or not. If required,
compression is automatically performed before printing the bar code.
Checksum calculation
Some bar code symbologies define checksum characters as a requirement of the data format. In this
case, the Forms and Bar Code Card performs the checksum calculation and automatically places
the character(s) according to the symbology specifications. Fixed length data formats can be sent
with or without checksum characters.
Visual Bar Code Designer
Use the Visual Bar Code Designer program found on the CD to build PCL 5, PostScript, and hex
command strings for use within SAP or other applications.
