Note:
The secondary message can not be longer than 84 characters. Therefore, the
destination address length must be truncated if required if the total length for the
secondary message is greater than 84 characters. That destination address is anyway
optional in the MaxiCode data. If data is too long, BarDIMM will not print the MaxiCode
and prints an error message indicating by how many characters the length exceeds 84.
Note:
Blank fields still must include the
<Gs>
separator
After the <Eot> character, the application must send immediately a PCL escape sequence
to switch a font other than MaxiCode.
i.e.:
to switch to Courier font 10CPI, the sequence is:
<Esc>(s0p10h12vbs4099T
Note:
if you use a character set other than PC-8, you should resend the character set
selection before selecting the new font.
Example:
<Esc>(s24800T1,1,2,152382802,840,001,[)><RS>01<GS>96995011234<GS>84
0<GS>025<GS>1Z07000168<GS>UPSN<GS>WX9031<GS>272<GS><GS>1/1<GS>15<GS

RSS with Composite Component
A Composite Component is a two dimensional bar code
added to a
RSS-14
or
RSS-Expanded
barcode: it is not a
true matrixed code, but a stacked linear bar code. CC is bi-
directionally decodable therefore can be read with laser
scanners. They have a binary-based encoding scheme optimized for EAN & UCC
Application Identifier Element Strings. Special compaction methods have been designed
to decrease the symbol size for commonly used Element Strings such as lot number and
expiration date. All RSS Composite symbols encode a linkage flag in both the linear
component and the 2-Dimensional Composite Component to tell the scanner to continue
scanning for the other component.
To add data in a CC call the regular RSS symbology and send the data to encode as a CC
after the digits for the RSS code, separated by the character | (ASCII code 124):
Example with RSS-14, “Jetmobile_BarDIMM” encoded as CC:
<Esc>(s24810T1234567890123|Jetmobile_BarDIMM<Esc>(s0p10h12vbs4099T
