257⿎ Bar Code SettingWhen GS1 DataBar Limited or its composite code is selected as bar code type in bar code condition setting, specifies theratio of guard pattern width to module width.The guard pattern indicates the spaces outside of the code symbol where is marked when the code is inverted.For the code symbol details, refer to “GS1 DataBar Limited” (P.316).12 34 5Item Description1 Guard patternspecified method: Select how to specify the ratio of guard pattern width to module width.• 2006: Auto setting according to the ratio defined by ISO/IEC 24724 2006.• 2011: Auto setting according to the ratio defined by ISO/IEC 24724 2011.• Custom: Set the arbitrary ratio of the left and right guard pattern width respectively.Reference• For better bar code reading quality, in this laser marker, the rightmost space of the right guard pattern consists of sixmodules, adding one extra module to that of the standard when it is set to ISO/IEC 24724 2011.• For GS1 DataBar Limited when “2006” or “2011” is set and “Guard” in “Condition setting of GS1 DataBar” (P.193) isenabled, the guard pattern is expanded with the certain width in addition to the specified width of ISO/IEC 24724 2006or 2011.• When “Custom” is selected here, the “Guard” in “Condition setting of GS1 DataBar” (P.193) of GS1 DataBar Limited isfixed to “None”.2 Left Guard3 Right Guard: Applicable when “Custom” is selected. Specifies the ratio of guard pattern width tomodule width.Setting Range 1.0 to 20.04 SET : Applies and saves the barcode setting to the laser marker and closes the window.5 CANCEL : Closes the window without applying the change.Reference• When the guard pattern specified method is changed, it changes the center position of the code symbols, too. Confirmthe marking position after this setting.ME-LP400V-OP-6
