ratio Optional parameter (used in conjunction with 9 or :
above) representing the ratios for variable ratio bar
codes. Default ratios are overridden by the variable
ratio feature. The ratio data must be hexadecimal
numbers from 0 through 9 or A through F; the Code
V automatically checks the input for validity. If an
invalid character is found in the ratio, an error
message is generated.
UPS 11 bar codes use eight-digit ratios. The ratios
are interpreted from left to right, measuring the size
of each bar or space in dot width, in the following
pattern:
1 module wide bar : 1 module wide space :
2 module wide bar : 2 module wide space : 3
module wide bar : 3 module wide space : 4 module
wide bar : 4 module wide space.
For example,
enter 22446688 in the ratio data field for:
2 module wide bar
2 module wide space
4 module wide bar
4 module wide space
6 module wide bar
6 module wide space
8 module wide bar
8 module wide space
The Code V automatically checks ratio data for validity only within the
allowable hexadecimal range. The Code V does not verify that ratio data
creates acceptable bar/space element relationships for bar code readability.
When designing unique ratio data, carefully plot bar/space ratios to conform
to readable bar codes.
data The bar code data. UPS 11 bar codes are restricted
to 10 data characters. The first character must be 0
through 9 or A through Z. The remaining nine digits
must be 0 through 9.
(cc)G Terminates the bar code command. Enter the
SFCC for your Code V configuration immediately
followed by any valid command character or G, the
universal sequence terminator.
