Data to be encoded.

NOTE: The number of bytes specified must
exactly equal the number of bytes in the
data that follows. The printer may not
execute other commands following the

command if the byte

value is incorrect.

Comments

PDF417 bar codes never have human-readable
subtext.

All dimensions specified in the command are in dots.
The starting position of the bar code block is

normally its upper left corner, but the

JUSTIFY

command can right justify or center justify PDF417
codes. Place the proper

JUSTIFY

command before

the

BARCODE PDF417

or

BARCODER PDF417

command that plots the bar code you wish to justify.

Macro PDF functions provide command
enhancements useful for handling large amounts of

data. Macro PDF can create a distributed

representation of files that are too large for a single
PDF417

bar code block. An M before the data will

invoke macro PDF, or the printer will invoke it

you may add the following optional parameters

before the data:
