Re: PDF417 BARCODE keyword and carriage return

[darren@xxxxxxxxx]

It is a little different with 2D.  Most linear type barcodes don't allow a
carriage return mid-stream because the maximum field size is so small that
this would be irrelevant.  I understand that you can configure a barcode
scanner for the behavior that will occur when the barcode read is complete.

With PDF417, however, you're allowed a field size approaching 2000
character.  So, in theory, you could populate the barcode with someone's
entire mailing address.  Our customer seems to be using a carriage return
as a field delimiter when reading the barcode.  You have to send something
in the barcode to tell the scanner, "hey, hit the return key before you
read more data."

Any scan project I've worked with before, it is the scanner &
it's config that determines when to carriage return.
Is there something diff in 2D (which i have not done)?
