Macro PDF Features
Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The decoder can decode
symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 Kb of decoded data stored in up to 50
MacroPDF symbols.
Macro PDF User Indications
In this mode the decoder provides the following feedback.
CAUTION When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers.
Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When
scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire sequence without interruption. When scanning a
mixed sequence, two long low beeps (Low/Low) indicates an inconsistent file ID or inconsistent
symbology error.
