Positioning the Barcodes The following commands are positioning commands the PRESCRIBE language provides. These commands are useful and sometimes essential for proper positioning of the barcodes onto a medium such as label. More detailed discussion on these (and some other) positioning commands can be found in the PRESCRIBE Commands Command Reference. By default the cursor is located at the top left corner of the barcode and stays there after printing is done. MAP MRP MZP UNIT Moves the cursor to a position relative to the top and left margins. Moves the cursor from the current to a specified relative position. Moves the cursor to a position relative to the top and left edge limits of the page. Sets the unit of measurement used in the PRESCRIBE commands including the above. The initial unit is inches. The other units are related to inches as: 1 inch=2.54 centimeters=72 points=300 or 600 dots (depending on the printing system model). Limitations of Two-dimensional Barcode Item Encodable character set Code type Character self checking Bi-directional decoding Number of row indicator codewords required per row Number of symbol checksum codewords required Minimum number of rows per symbol Maximum number of rows per symbol Minimum number of data columns Maximum number of data columns Number of symbol length descriptors required Smallest nominal element width Smallest nominal element height Maximum data characters per symbol Description 256 international characters and binary data Continuous Yes Yes 2 2 3 90 1 30 1 0.0075 inch or 0.191 mm 0.01 inch or 0.254 mm Assuming 928 codewords - 1 symbol length descriptor - 2 symbol checksum codewords = 925 data codewords. Binary/ASCII plus mode: 1108 bytes. Extended alphanumeric compaction mode (EXC): 1850 ASCII characters. Numeric compaction mode: 2725 digits. For Macro PDF417, which transparently distributes information among a number of PDF417 symbols, the above storage limits are increased to more than one million bytes in Binary/ASCII Plus mode and morethan 2.5 million bytes in EXC mode. 5-13
