User’s Manual for InterForm400® 295
You use the PDF417 font number by remapping a window of text. When you specify a
PDF417 font number you are prompted for a ‘Maximum line width’ and ‘Maximum line
height’. You are expected to specify only one of them. Normally you would probably use a
maximum line width and let the height vary with the variable amount of characters to be
converted, but a maximum line height has been added to meet requirements of the
automotive industry.
Datamatrix barcodes
Datamatrix barcodes can be used for ZPL (Zebra) output from InterForm400. For more
information refer to page 310.
MICR E-13B
This font is normally used for cheque printing. Just insert text or remap windows functions
in the overlay using font number 3998.
Assigning Font ID’s to Barcode Softfonts
When a barcode softfont has been generated it must be assigned as font ID, which can
be used to access the barcode from Remap Window, Tabulator and Text constant
commands in the overlay design window. Besides this they can be used in command lines
of the type &&TXT.
You can define the soft font, font ID and autodownload in one step by selecting option ‘5.
Create barcode soft font’:
Create CODE-39 soft font FNT403D
Font number . . . . . . . . 4646 4600-4699
Font height dots . . . . . . 300 30-1200

FONT-file member name . . . *GEN *GEN, Name
Auto download . . . . . . . Y Y=Yes, N=No
F3=Exit F4=Prompt F12=Cancel
This will create the soft font member CODE39xxx, where ‘xxx’ is a ‘number’ in the
sequence ‘AAA’, ‘AAB’, ‘AAC’....’ZZZ’ (when using *GEN for the FONT member name).
If activated the specification of autodownload is added to the first printer group and the
output queue *ALLPCL is added to this printer group. If no PCL printer group is found
InterForm400
®
will automatically create the printer group *PCL.
