2D CODE COMMANDS
PDF417
FUNCTION Specifies PDF417 of 2D code.
FORMAT
<ESC>2D10aabbcddeeffff<ESC>DNgggg,h...h
Place anywhere after <ESC>V but before <ESC>Q.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>V0100<ESC>H0100
<ESC>2D10,03,09,3,03,18
<ESC>DN0100,0123456789
<ESC>Q2
<ESC>Z
Minimum Module Size: 03 dots wide, 09 dots high
Security Level: 3
Quantity of Data Words per Line: 03
Quantity of Lines per Symbol: 18
OUTPUT
(4-22)
NOTES If d=e=00, the vertical/horizontal size becomes 1:2 depending on the quantity of specified data. If the
specification of "d" and "e" does not match the data quantity, printing may not properly occur.
When increasing the security level, it is necessary to specify a higher value for "d" and "e".
Module widths set to 01 or 02 may not properly read. Module heights set to 01, 02, or 03 also may not
be properly read.
Sequential numbering is not available and print position is not designable with auto linefeed.
Print of 00H through FFH is definable and registration of format is available.
To improve print quality, increase the minimum module size. To improve the reading ratio, increase the
security level.
The print height may vary when only using alphabet, digits, or alphanumeric characters.
Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 13 for additional information.
