RE: Barcoding - ZPL instruction ^B7

["Steiner, Webb H (TC)" <whsteiner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

those printers still have a limitation of 198. we are using NLynx emulation.
I was getting page size errors on the 5225 and got the same error when we
tried 3812. We can print maxicodes fine - it's the larger data content of
the PDF417 that giving me the business

what would you do if you had 1000 btyes of data

You want to use a printer definition that is fairly "stupid".  3812 would
not be a good choice.  5225 would be better, but how is your printer
attached?  If through a dumb terminal, or a PC, that introduces another
variable.  We configure our's as 4214, but if attached through a PC (client
access) it will normally auto-configure as a 3812.

Here is some sample output that includes a maxi-code
