Property Data Type

VARIANT_BOOL

 

 

Remarks

If this property is set to TRUE, non-printable characters can be passed to DataMatrix ActiveX by using the tilde character, "~dNNN" represents the ASCII character encoded by the 3 digits NNN, for example, "~d010" represents the character LF (line feed).

"~1" is used to indicate FNC1. For example, "~10107612345678900~117100503" can be used to generate GS1 DataMatrix "(01)0107612345678900(17)100503", and "~110AC34563G3" can be used to generate GS1 DataMatrix "(10)AC34563G3".

"~5" is used to indicate Macro 5. For example, "~5ABCDEF[GS]123456" can be used to generate DataMatrix "[)>[RS]05[GS]ABCDEF[GS]123456[RS][EOT]".

"~6" is used to indicate Macro 6. For example, "~6ABCDEF[GS]123456" can be used to generate DataMatrix "[)>[RS]06[GS]ABCDEF[GS]123456[RS][EOT]".

[RS] is the record separator with ASCII value 30, [GS] is the group separator with ASCII value 29, and [EOT] is the end of transmission with ASCII value 4.
