Barcode ID
The printer is able to print two different unique Data Matrix barcodes per format and this
parameter is used to select which formatting data is being used. The valid parameters are a
0 or a 1. To printer the proper barcode, the CGN field must also reflect a 0 or 1 to match the
Barcode ID field. The CGN default is a 0 so if only one barcode is present and the Barcode
ID is a 0, nothing has to be entered as the CGN.
The sample below shows how to generate two data matrix symbols:
^D164 <---------------------------------Start of Datamatrix Data
0 <----------------------------------------Width
0 <----------------------------------------Height
1 <----------------------------------------Rotation
A <----------------------------------------Encoding
0 <----------------------------------------Barcode ID
:0123456789^\<---------------------- Data to encode
^D164 <---------------------------------Start of Datamatrix Data
