may be selected, and the text may be printed anywhere desired near the symbol. The text must not interfere with the bar code symbol or its quiet zones. Compressed data formats Some bar code symbologies, such as UPC-E and Code 128, use compressed data formats. The Forms and Bar Code Card accepts data for these symbologies in either compressed or uncompressed format. The incoming data is analyzed to determine if it is compressed or not. If required, compression is automatically performed prior to printing the bar code. Checksum calculation Some bar code symbologies define checksum characters as a requirement of the data format. When this is the case, the Forms and Bar Code Card performs the checksum calculation and automatically places the character(s) according to the symbology specifications. Fixed length data formats can be sent with or without checksum characters.
