Field Name Description Offset Specifies the offset of the start position of supplement characters from the start position of the bar code in the unit of measure specified in the overlay specifications or the PFD specifications. The default value varies depending on the printer type. If you leave this prompt blank, the default value for the printer type is used. POSTNET type This prompt is displayed when POSTNET is specified as the bar code type. It specifies the symbolic type of POSTNET. The valid bar code data length depends on this value. The allowable types are as follows : 1 ZIP Code (5 digits) 2 ZIP+4 (9 digits) 3 Advanced bar codes (11 digits) 4 Variable length data (up to 100 digits) The default value = 1. Degree of rotation Specifies the degrees of rotation of the bar code symbol in terms of an angle measured clockwise from the overlay, the page layout, or the record layout. The default value is 0. Color This field specifies the color of the bar code symbol and HRI. The default value is *DEFAULT which specifies the printer default. Notes: 1. Not all printers support the color printing function. You are not allowed to enter a value in the Color prompt if the printer does not support the color printing. 2. If the printer does not support the color you select, an error occurs or a default color is used when this bar code is printed. You should check which colors are supported on the printer. 3. To use values other than *DEFAULT and 8=Black, you should be aware of the following: v Your printer type must be 1 or 9, and your printer must be able to print the specified color. Check digit This field specifies a check digit algorithm to be used. Valid values vary depending on the bar code type. See 272 for more information. HRI This field specifies where to place the Human Readable Interpretation (HRI). 1 Place the HRI below the bar code symbol. 2 Place the HRI above the bar code symbol. 3 Place no HRI. Note: This value is ignored by the printer depending on the bar code type. For example, v When the bar code type supports only one type of HRI position. v When the bar code type requires HRI. HRI asterisk This field specifies whether to print an asterisk or not. Y An asterisk is printed in an HRI for 3-of-9 code as start and stop bar and space patterns. N An asterisk is not printed in an HRI for 3-of-9 code as start and stop bar and space patterns. The default value is N. Chapter 13. Design Operation 267
