Example:
The following example prints a Code 16K:
<STX>L
D11
1W1Y3305001000100ABC123
E
Barcode W1Y
W1z: MicroPDF417
MicroPDF417 is a 2 dimensional bar code capable of holding large amounts of data in a
small area. It provides a high level of redundancy and error checking.
Valid Characters: All ASCII characters, depending on the selected options.

a W z c d eee ffff gggg h i j k 0 m…m
Where:
Field Valid Inputs Meaning
a
1,2,3, and 4 Rotation
W1
W1 Fixed value, extended bar code set.
z
z Selects the MicroPDF417 bar code.
c
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Module size horizontal multiplier, 0 – default size.
d
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Module size vertical multiplier, 0 – default size.
eee
000 No Effect
ffff
0000 to 9999 Label position, row
gggg
0000 to 9999 Label position, column
h
1 to 4 Number columns
i
0 to 9 and A Row / Error Correction index
j

m…m
8-bit data Data to be encoded.
The following example prints a MicroPDF417 bar code, default module size (cd = 00),
with 1 column, 24 rows, error correction of 33%, no byte compaction, macro character
substitution enabled.
