(3) Type in the MRC message.
(4) Press
End MRC option key. The screen will change to show the
MRC Identifier i.e. whether the barcode is the first, second, etc. in
the message, and the MRC type.
(5) If necessary, use the increment keys to change the MRC setting to
the required type.
To Create a Barcode:
(6) If a simple barcode only is required select OK and the barcode will
appear. If human--readable information is to be included, select
Advanced as in step (7).
To confirm the barcode data, use the Toggle MRC’s option key to switch
between the barcode and its human--readable version. (Toggling the
data does not affect printing -- only the barcode is printed.) However,
selecting the human--readable version helps editing, as the cursor can
be moved to the required character and changed in the normal way.
Note the ”<” symbol at the end of the barcode data. Marking this and
selecting Edit returns the screen to step (4) allowing the barcode details
to be changed. Alternatively, toggling to the barcode and selecting Edit
also returns the screen in step (4).
(7) The barcode data can be printed in human--readable form, either
before or after the barcode, or it can be indented into the barcode
as shown in the diagram. Some barcodes (such as EAN 13) use a
double indentation. Select
Advanced .
(8) With Advanced selected, set the indentation width. For an exact fit,
this width is measured in strokes, but for demonstration purposes
enter any large number (e.g. 1000) to create the largest available
width in the barcode.
(9) Enter the height (in number of lines) of the barcode above the
indentation (see diagram).
(10) If required, values (in strokes) can be entered to give quiet zones
(clear spaces) at the beginning and end of the barcode.
(11) Select OK to return to the barcode screen.
(12) Select OK to return to the Message Editor screen. The barcode will
now show the indentation(s).
(13) Inspect the cursor at the front of the display and press the Font Size
option key until it is the size of the required barcode. If the barcode
