3 Programming 3.1 General Kyocera printers and multifunction devices are equipped as standard with a number of linear barcodes which can be controlled exclusively using the Kyocera language PRESCRIBE. The PCL Barcode Flash software extends the number of barcodes supported to include important new types, which have been established in trade, industry and postal operations. In addition, an important feature is that almost all existing and new barcodes can also be controlled by means of PCL standard commands, which considerably enhances the field of application of printers equipped appropriately. The following section describes control via PCL commands in detail and includes a number of examples of applications and prints. Control by means of commands is already described precisely in the Kyocera manual "PRESCRIBE IIE PROGRAMMING MANUAL" (CHAPTER 4: BARCODES), and this is available in both German and English versions (PDF format) on the CD supplied with the product. Therefore, this manual deals only with special features of PRESCRIBE programming where new barcodes have been added. A description of PDF417 code control can also be found on the CD. In the version of PCL Barcode Flash on which this manual is based, control of PDF417 is possible only via the PRESCRIBE command XBAR. 28

3.1 General
Kyocera printers and multifunction devices are equipped as standard with a number
of linear barcodes which can be controlled exclusively using the Kyocera language
PRESCRIBE.
The PCL Barcode Flash software extends the number of barcodes supported to
include important new types, which have been established in trade, industry and
postal operations. In addition, an important feature is that almost all existing and new
barcodes can also be controlled by means of PCL standard commands, which
considerably enhances the field of application of printers equipped appropriately.
The following section describes control via PCL commands in detail and includes a
number of examples of applications and prints.
Control by means of commands is already described precisely in the Kyocera manual

), and this is
available in both German and English versions (PDF format) on the CD supplied with
the product. Therefore, this manual deals only with special features of PRESCRIBE
programming where new barcodes have been added.
A description of PDF417 code control can also be found on the CD. In the version of
PCL Barcode Flash on which this manual is based, control of PDF417 is possible
only via the PRESCRIBE command
XBAR
