2D10 (PDF417)
FUNCTION
Specifies PDF417 of 2D code.
FORMAT <ESC>2D10,aa,bb,c,dd,ee,(f)
Between <ESC>A and <ESC>Z but following <ESC>H and <ESC>V.
EXAMPLE
Example - Minimum module width: 03 dots, Minimum module height: 09 dots, Security level:
3, Words per line: 03, Lines per symbol: 18, Code type: Truncated.
<ESC>A
<ESC>V100<ESC>H100
<ESC>2D10,03,09,3,03,18,1
<ESC>DN0010,0123456789
<ESC>Q2
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(4-46a)
NOTES
Set the PDF417's base reference point for printing with Vertical Print Position <ESC>V and Horizontal
Print Position <ESC>H (<ESC>V100<ESC>H200<ESC>2D10****).
(4-46b)
When d=e=00, the size of height to width (aspect ratio) will be at 1:2. If the specification of "d", "e" and
the data quantity do not match, printing will not be properly performed. If increasing the security level, it
is necessary to specify a higher value for "d" and "e". The minimum mode width can be set to 01 and
02; however, this may not be properly read. 01, 02, and 03 are designable for minimum module height;
however, a reading problem may result.
Sequential numbering is disabled with this command and print position cannot be specified by auto
linefeed. Designation of print for 00H-FFH and registration of format are enabled.
Increase the value of minimum module when selecting the higher print quality and increase the value of
security level when setting the read rate higher.
The height of printed characters may vary.
