Section 4. Image Specific Commands
35
If snippets are defined using MICRBase or property commands PR20 – PR29 (see Section 6), they may
be referred to on the command line by number using the ‘Sn’ parameter where n is 0-9. For example:
BC1 S5<cr> specifies the pre-defined snippet #5 (PR25) to be scanned for bar code 39.
Note
These ten pre-defined snippets (PR20-PR29) are limited to two snippets
each or any other valid command parameters, totaling 45 characters or
less.(See Section 6.)
BCn – BAR CODE COMMAND
The bar code command may be used to scan one or more snippets for a specified bar code symbol. Each
snippet is scanned three times: top edge, middle, bottom edge (horizontal) or left edge, middle, right edge
(vertical). The required parameter n must be one of the following:
1 Bar code 39. Send all characters including check character.
2 Bar code 39. Send all characters except check character if valid, else error.
3 Bar code Interleaved 2 of 5. Send all characters including check character.
4 Bar code Interleaved 2 of 5. Send all characters except check character if valid, else error.
5 Bar code 128. Send all characters except check character if valid, else error.
The following optional parameters may occur in any order:
V Scan vertically. The default is horizontal if the snippet is wider than it is high or vertical if
higher than it is wide.
( Snippet. See snippet description. Multiple snippets are allowed. The first valid bar code
symbol encountered terminates the command.
Sn where n=0 – 9. Pre-defined snippet (PR20 – PR29). See snippet description and
Section 6.
Examples:
BC5 S3 (T200 B150 L800 R300)<cr>
Use bar code 128, scan predefined snippet(s) given in
PR23, then scan the new snippet.
BC2 V S8<CR>
Use bar code 39, force vertical scan of all snippets in
PR28.
