Program Mode Commands
Note: For full ASCII and alphanumeric columns, the maximum number of characters
is actually less than those listed for each version of Code One. That number varies
depending upon the number of character type changes (lowercase to uppercase,
numeric to alphanumeric, and so on). The more shifts between these different types, the
less data you can encode.
Grouping Symbols
Use ,m2 (position of the current symbol in the group) and ,m3 (total number of
symbols in the group) to define symbols that are part of a group. For example,
a setting of [,2,5] indicates that the current symbol definition is the second in a
group of five.
Both ,m2 and ,m3 range from 1 to 15, with a default of 1.
Note: If you are using groups of symbols with the ,m2 and ,m3 variables, make sure
,m2 (the position in the group) is never greater than ,m3 (the total number of symbols
in the group).
The printer does not check to ensure that you define all positions of a group.
For example, if you set ,m3 to 5, and you define only three positions, the
printer will print the three positions. However; when you scan these symbols,
the scanner will wait for all five symbols and will not be able to transmit the
data.
Defining Height and Width for Code One
Code One modules must be square. Therefore, when you define a field for
Code One, you only need to enter one value for both the height and width
magnification. If you enter more than one value, the printer uses the last value
for both height and width and ignores all previously entered magnification
values. If you do not enter a value, the printer uses a default value of 3 for both
height and width magnification.
Using Groups of Code One Symbols
You can use groups of Code One symbols to encode data so that you can scan
separate symbols more efficiently. When you scan a group of symbols, the
scanner accumulates the data from all members of the group and transmits the
data as if it came from a single symbol.
