Banner page fields for barcodes in AFP jobs
The fields in a banner-page control file that are used to print barcodes in AFP jobs
are a little different from the fields used to print other information.
This table describes the barcode fields. All fields of the line that follow the file identifier are separated by semicolons (;).
Barcode banner page fields
| Field name | Description |
|---|---|
| FieldX | Each line must begin with FieldX, where X is a unique number from 1 through 1000. Use a trailing space to separate FieldX from the next field on the line. |
| FieldName | A user-selected name that identifies the line. It must be unique within the control file. It can be up to 32 characters. |
| FieldType | Field type values are:
|
| [Key] | Key values are:
|
| ;;; | Enter three semicolons to separate the key field and the next field. Barcode entries do not use the single-byte coded font and double-byte coded font fields. |
| InchesFromLeft | A numeric value that specifies the distance, in inches, from the left edge of the banner page at which RICOH ProcessDirector starts to print the barcode. The value can include decimal places. |
| InchesFromTop | A numeric value that specifies the distance, in inches, from the top edge of the banner page at which RICOH ProcessDirector starts to print the barcode. The value can include decimal places. |
| Rotation | A numeric value that specifies the amount of rotation, in the clockwise direction, that RICOH ProcessDirector rotates the barcode. Valid values are 0, 90, 180, and 270. |
| BarCodeType | Valid barcode types are:
|
| Height | A numeric value that specifies the height, in inches, of the barcode. The value can
include decimal places. The height value does not apply to any human-readable information
in the barcode, as specified by the HRI field.
Note: Use the NumberOfRows field, not the Height field, to specify the height of a DataMatrix two-dimensional barcode.
|
| Modifier | Specifies the Bar Code Object Content Architecture (BCOCA) modifier value, which varies by bar-code type. See the Bar Code Object Content Architecture Reference for details. |
| Asterisk | Valid values that control asterisks are:
|
| HRI | Valid values for barcodes that contain human-readable information are:
|
| ModuleWidth | A numeric value that specifies the width, in inches, of a narrow bar within the barcode.
The value can include decimal places. You can omit this field, as necessary. However,
you still need to include its semicolon delimiter for the position.
Note: Use the RowSize field, not the ModuleWidth field, to specify the width of a DataMatrix two-dimensional barcode.
|
| WideNarrowRatio | A numeric value that specifies the ratio between wide and narrow bars within the barcode. Common values are 2.0 and 3.0. See the Bar Code Object Content Architecture Reference for details. You can omit this field, as necessary. However, you still need to include its semicolon delimiter for the position. |
| RowSize | A numeric value that specifies the number of modules in each row of a DataMatrix two-dimensional
barcode. You can omit this field, as necessary. However, you still need to include
its semicolon delimiter for the position.
Note: Use the RowSize field, not the ModuleWidth field, to specify the width of a DataMatrix two-dimensional barcode.
|
| NumberOfRows | A numeric value that specifies the number of rows in a DataMatrix two-dimensional
barcode. You can omit this field, as necessary. However, you still need to include
its semicolon delimiter for the position.
Note: Use the NumberOfRows field, not the Height field, to specify the height of a DataMatrix two-dimensional barcode.
