programming in PRESCRIBE, we recommend that you read the "PRESCRIBE IIE PROGRAMMING MANUAL". The BARC command is used. The syntax described in the PRESCRIBE manual for the BARC command is valid for the one-dimensional barcodes supported. As you will see below, the syntax for two-dimensional barcodes - Kyocera TASKalfa 8001i | PCL Barcode Flash 3.0 User's Manual Rev 3.2.03.2013 - Page 43
The amount of base data has to be stated only if the base data is passed in the first of the ways mentioned below: 1. By means of an attachment after the semicolon that closes the BARC command, in this case the number of bytes has to be stated. 2. In inverted commas. 3. By means of an attachment - Kyocera TASKalfa 8001i | PCL Barcode Flash 3.0 User's Manual Rev 3.2.03.2013 - Page 44

Example: BARC 120,10,10,14; TEXT „0123456789"; TEXT „0123456789"; The advantage of this mode: As lengthier useful data often have to be printed with Datamatrix, cases may occur in SAP where a single row cannot accommodate all of the useful data.

3.3.3 QR Code This matrix code was developed by the company Denso and is particularly widespread in Japan, although more recently it has been used within the industry throughout the world. Like the Datamatrix code, the QR Code can also be printed in a variety of sizes and resolutions. QR Code - Kyocera TASKalfa 8001i | PCL Barcode Flash 3.0 User's Manual Rev 3.2.03.2013 - Page 46
Binary: All 256 ASCII characters are accepted. Kanji: Practically all Kanji characters can be displayed. They must be available as two-byte characters in JIS X 0208 shift mode.
