Syntax:

type

{ Defined in the pMicroPDF417 unit }

TMicroPDF417_TextEncodeMode = (tmAlpha, tmLower, tmMixed, tmPunct);

property DefaultTextEncodeMode: TMicroPDF417_TextEncodeMode;

Description:

In the specification of MicroPDF417, the initial compaction mode in effect at the start of each symbol shall always be Byte compaction mode, but some readers use the Text compaction mode (Alpha sub-mode) as the initial compaction mode. The property specifies the initial Text compaction sub-mode for a MicroPDF417 barcode symbol if its initial compaction mode is set to Text compaction mode (the DefaultEncodeMode property is set to emText). It should be set to match your reader.

The property can be one of these values (defined in the pMicroPDF417 unit).

• tmAlpha: Indicates the initial Text compaction sub-mode to Alpha sub-mode.
• tmLower: Indicates the initial Text compaction sub-mode to Lower sub-mode.
• tmMixed: Indicates the initial Text compaction sub-mode to Mixed sub-mode.
• tmPunct: Indicates the initial Text compaction sub-mode to Punctuation sub-mode.

Note, the property is available only when the DefaultEncodeMode property is set to emText.
