Detailed Description

Macro Characters 05 and 06 values are used to obtain more compact encoding in special modes.

05 Macro craracter is translated to "[)>\u001E05\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer. 06 Macro craracter is translated to "[)>\u001E06\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer.

        hese samples show how to encode Macro Characters in MicroPdf417 and DataMatrix
        

        # to generate autoidentified GS1 message like this "(10)123ABC(10)123ABC" in ISO 15434 format you need:
        generator = BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.DATA_MATRIX, "10123ABC\u001D10123ABC")
        generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getDataMatrix().setMacroCharacters(MacroCharacter.MACRO_05)
        reader = BarCodeReader(generator.generateBarCodeImage(), None, DecodeType.GS1DataMatrix)
        for result in reader.readBarCodes():
            print("BarCode CodeText: " + result.getCodeText())

        # Encodes MicroPdf417 with 05 Macro the string: "[)>\u001E05\u001Dabcde1234\u001E\u0004"
        generator = BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MicroPdf417, "abcde1234")

MACRO_05

int MACRO_05 = 5

static

05 Macro craracter is added to barcode data in first position.

GS1 Data Identifier ISO 15434 Character is translated to "[)>\u001E05\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer.

to generate autoidentified GS1 message like this "(10)123ABC(10)123ABC" in ISO 15434 format you need:

generator = BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.DATA_MATRIX, "10123ABC\u001D10123ABC")
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getDataMatrix().setMacroCharacters(MacroCharacter.MACRO_05)
reader = Recognition.BarCodeReader(generator.generateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.GS_1_DATA_MATRIX)
for result in reader.readBarCodes():
      print("BarCode CodeText: " + result.getCodeText())

MACRO_06

int MACRO_06 = 6

static

06 Macro craracter is added to barcode data in first position.

ASC MH10 Data Identifier ISO 15434 Character is translated to "[)>\u001E06\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer.

NONE

int NONE = 0

static

None of Macro Characters are added to barcode data.
