How to Specify Barcode Data
See the following descriptions to specify barcode data.
About the composite symbol:
Switching between CC-A and CC-B is automatically performed, however, to use CC-C, you need to specify to
use it.
(For GS1-128, the type of composite component can be selected from [No composite], [CC-A/CC-B], and [CC-
C].)
About HRI characters:
If the length of the HRI characters becomes wider than entire width of the barcode, the length is regarded
as the barcode width.
