More About Printing 2D Symbologies

When you encode and print 2D symbologies, use the following guidelines:
7-76
Bar Code Description
Selects Maxicode. Default for m1 is 0. m2 and m3 are not currently supported.
Structured Carrier Message.
Selects HIBC Code 128 with m1 as shown below. Default for m1 is 0.
The next three modifiers conform to Supplier Standard:
Primary format.
Alternate primary format.
Secondary format. The linkage character comes from m2 (which is the field
identifier).
The next four modifiers conform to Provider Standard:
Single format.
1st data format.
2nd data format. The linkage character comes from m2 (which is the field
identifier).
Multiple data format.
Select a symbol size that can encode all the data being downloaded. If you
select one that is too small, then the symbol will not print. If you do not
know the amount of data you are sending, allow space for the largest
possible amount.
In Program mode, the data length is confined to 255 characters. This means
that the d3 command, which is used to define data in Program mode,
cannot be followed by more than 255 characters. To send more than 255
characters, you must send the data in Print mode using the d0 command.
To send more than 255 characters in Print mode with the d0 command, you
must separate the data into packets of 255 characters. These packets are
separated by <STX> and <ETX>.
The maximum amount of data that can be entered into a field with the d0
command is 3550 characters. However, if you are declaring d0 fields to be
much larger than necessary, you may run out of memory, especially if you
use the maximum value of 3550. To avoid wasting memory, estimate the
largest amount of data you will send and use a value that is close to that
amount.
