<h1 class="topictitle1">BARCODE (Bar Code) keyword in printer files</h1>
<div><p>Use this field-level keyword to print a field as a user-specified
bar code. BARCODE is valid only for Intelligent Printer
Data Stream™ (IPDS™) printers and only for printer files with device
type *IPDS or *AFPDS specified.</p>
<div class="p">The format of the keyword is: <pre>BARCODE(bar-code-ID [height] [[*HRZ | *VRT]
[*HRI | *HRITOP | *NOHRI] [*AST | *NOAST]
[modifier] [unit-width]
[wide/narrow-ratio]
[PDF417 data]
[Data Matrix data]
[Maxicode data]])</pre>
</div>
<p>The bar-code-ID parameter is required. You can specify
the bar-code-ID parameter as a special alphanumeric value up to 10 characters
long, or as a numeric ID. Valid special values for the bar-code ID are listed
in <a href="#rzakdmstptbarco__zbarcode">Table 1</a>. If you specify a numeric
value for the bar-code ID, then you also must specify the bar-code modifier
parameter. See the documentation for your printer for the bar-code IDs and
modifiers that it supports.</p>
<div class="p">The height parameter is optional, but if you specify it, it must be the
second parameter following the keyword. You can specify the height in one
of two ways: <ul><li>Specify the height in number of print lines. Valid values for the bar-code
height are 1 through 9 lines.</li>
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Specify the height in inches or centimeters. When you specify
the height in this way, the valid format is <samp class="codeph">(height *UOM)</samp>.
Valid values are 0.25 to 25.40 cm (0.10 to 10.00 inches). For PDF417 bar-code
type, valid values are 0.02 to 25.40 cm (0.01 to 10.00 inches). The UOM parameter
on the Create Printer File (CRTPRTF) command determines the unit of measure
for the height.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The value you specify for the bar-code height does not include the human
readable interpretation below the bar code. If you do not specify the height
parameter, the printer uses a default height.</p>
<p>You can specify the last 9 parameters (all optional) in any order. Using
these parameters, you can specify that BARCODE: </p>
<ul><li>Print the bar code horizontally or vertically. The default is horizontal
printing (*HRZ).</li>
<li>Include or exclude the human readable interpretation of the bar code.
The default is to include the human readable interpretation printed at the
bottom of the bar code (*HRI).</li>
<li>Indicate that the human readable interpretation should be printed at the
top (*HRITOP) of the bar code. (Check individual printer manuals for different
bar code support of *HRITOP.)</li>
<li>Include or exclude asterisks around the human readable interpretation
for CODE3OF9 barcodes. The default is to exclude the asterisks (*NOAST).</li>
<li>Select the bar-code modifier. This is a 1-character hexadecimal value
that cannot be hex FF.</li>
<li>Specify the width (in inches) of the narrow bar/space. It is specified
as an expression of the form (*WIDTH value). For more information about how
to specify expressions, in the DDS Concepts information. The valid values
for the parameter are 0.007 through 0.208.</li>
<li>Specify the ratio of the wide bar/space to the narrow bar/space. It is
specified as an expression of the form: (*RATIO value). The valid values for
the parameter are 2.00 through 3.00.</li>
<li>Specify additional barcode information for the two-dimensional barcodes
PDF417, Maxicode, and Data Matrix. You can specify only one of these barcodes.
See <a href="#rzakdmstptbarco__twodbar">Specify two-dimensional barcodes</a> for
more information.</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The overall barcode width is dependent on: <ul><li>Ratio or width parameter in user DDS.</li>
<li>Actual customer data in the barcode.</li>
<li>Limitations of printer hardware, such as PEL density, pins and so on.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The width and ratio parameters are ignored for the 4234 and 4224 printer
models.</p>
<p>For more information about the 4224 printer models, see the <cite>4224
Printer Models 1xx and 2xx Product and Programming Descriptions</cite>, GC31-2551.</p>
<p>If you specify an optional parameter that does not apply to the bar-code
ID you have specified, the printer ignores the optional parameter.</p>
<p>If you attempt to print a bar code on a printer that does
not support bar codes, the digits in the code are treated as text, and a diagnostic
message results in stating that the bar code might not print.</p>
<p>The line and position you specify for the field is used as the upper left
corner of the bar code. Because the line specified in the DDS is the base
line (the imaginary line on which characters are printed) and this is used
as the upper edge of the bar code, the bar code appears to extend down from
the bottom of the line you specify.</p>
<p>The following table describes valid data types, field lengths, and the
numeric IDs for the BARCODE field.</p>
