XBUF — define a BUFfer name

Format

XBUF buffer-name[,[data-length]]; data-string;ENDB;

Parameters

buffer-name:

name of the buffer that contains XBAR data

data-length:

length of data in bytes, terminated with a semicolon

data-string:

data to be encoded, terminated with a semicolon immediately followed by an ENDB

command (256 international characters or binary data)

Function

The XBUF command defines/undefines a buffer that contains actual data for the two

dimensional barcodes.

The buffer name can be any length but only the first four characters count. The rest will

be ignored. The distinction between upper and lowercase letters is also ignored. For

example, the following names are all the same.

• ABCD

• abcd

• ABCDE

• Abcdxyz

The name must start with a letter, but the other characters can include digits and special

symbols such as hyphens. For example, F-1 and GRY-2 are valid buffer names.

As the above Format instruction implies, the XBUF command sequence can have two

other formats implementing the different functions as follows:

XBUF buffer-name,; data-string;ENDB;

Note the comma ( , ) placed between the buffer-name and “;”. As is the case of XBAR,

this format allows that data-length can be omitted, 0, negative value, or non integer, the

comma after buffer-name must be left in place, however. Then data-string is counted all

characters until the program encounters “;ENDB;”. It is necessary to have no space or

linebreak between “;” and “ENDB;”.

The XBUF command sequence with no comma and data-length specified

XBUF buffer-name;

is used to delete the buffer name from the printing system memory.

The XBUF command sequence with no comma, buffer-name and data-length specified

XBUF;
