DataMatrix 2D Font

Postby StephenC on Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:50 pm

I'm interested in using your font, but I can only supply data to my equipment on a one line per one record basis. For example...

Code: Select all
00001~JOHN DOE   ~1234567890
00002~JANE DOE   ~0987654321
00003~BOB SMITH  ~5674926753
etc


I notice the encoder needs to make multiple lines of text to represent the DataMatrix font, is there a way to pass the multi-line data on a single line? (in hex, or with special characters representing the CR/LF). In other words the encoder would need to output the font data on a single line of text. We are using ANSI text files here at our facility; we would not want to use Excel/Word/Access as a solution.

You can pass a different line separator to DataMatrixResultGetBarcodeString2 function. For example, if you pass “|” as the parameter, lines are separated with “|”. You need to convert it back in order to display the barcode correctly.
