ECI Data Six digit ECI number
;
Fixed Parses data. (If the seventh character is not a semi colon
then only a six-digit code 39 will print.)
Up to 25 alphanumeric serial number characters to be
encoded in the MicroPDF417 symbol. This symbol is fixed
at four columns. The number of rows is determined by the
amount of data, as follows:
Number of Alphanumeric
Characters
Number of Rows
1-14 4
15-22 6
i…i
S/N Data
23-25 8
The link flag is the character “T” in code 39 without a start/stop indicator. The location of this flag is
based on the ECI code location, length and height. The location of the MicroPDF417 symbol is based
on the location of ECI bar code. The symbol’s module width and height are fixed at the default. The
following example prints a TLC39 bar code:
