Bar Code Summary Data
Bar code fonts have alpha names (left column, below). Uppercase alpha names will print bar codes with human-readable interpretations, if
supported. Lowercase alpha names will print bar codes only. Place the ID in field b of the Format Record header to cause the printer to encode the
data field using the associated bar code symbology, see Appendix G for details. See Table F-2 for default values. The column labeled “Linear
Scanner Supported” provides an indication that printers equipped with a Linear Scanner are capable of recognizing the associated symbology.
