Remarks
• The string No. is applied to the linefeed
of the human readable character. The
linefeed is not included in the code data.
• If the code data length is more than 30-
byte, set the character in the several
string No. They are connected together
in numerical order without linefeed to
create the code data.
• For EAN/UPC/JAN or 1D side of GS1
DataBar Limited/Stacked, set "1" always.
• Only for 2D side of the composite code,
set this item with 2-byte length.
• Functional characters cannot be used.
• Specify 0-byte for data length to delete
characters.
• If the readout data includes characters
that cannot be expressed in ASCII code
such as Japanese characters (2-byte
character), only these 2-byte characters
are read out in shift JIS code.
• If the code data contains any functional
characters or 2-byte characters, the
maximum readout data can be 60-byte.
