Bar Code Description
Selects PDF 417. The modifiers and their defaults are described below.
Printer selects the number of columns needed to create a symbol that is as close
to square as possible.
The printer automatically selects the error correction level, based on the
amount of data.
Truncating disabled.
m1 selects the number of columns of data characters. The range is 0 to 30 and
the default is 0. If you select zero, the printer provides the number of columns
needed to create a symbol that is as close to a square as possible.
Note: When you select zero, the printer selects a height magnification that is three
times the width magnification. The specifications of PDF417 recommend these
magnification values for creating a symbol that you can scan easily.
m2 selects the level of error correction as shown in the table below. Each level
provides a certain number of error detection characters, which can detect and
recover a specific number of faulty characters.
