GM Barcode Wizard

Introduction

In 1999, General Motors adopted a uniform global parts labeling template that enables suppliers to use a

common label for shipment to all GM facilities worldwide. All suppliers shipping production parts to

GM facilities were required to begin using the label by March 2000.Loftware developed both a template

and a Barcode Wizard for the GM1724 Label Specification in 1999 to meet this requirement, as well as

updates as changes to this standard were made.

The wizard guides you in creating the complex PDF417 2D Barcode formula for the label.

Requirements

In order to utilize the powerful components of the GM Wizard, note the following:

1. The Security Level is set to 5 by default and must remain at 5 in order to print the PDF417

barcode with GM's compliance standards.

2. You will need a printer that has the ability to natively print PDF417 Barcodes.

l See Printers on the Tech Support section of the Loftware Web site to view the supported

models.

l Of the supported Printer Families, be aware that not all models within these families are

capable of printing the PDF417 Barcode.

l Of the models that are capable of printing the PDF417 Barcode, not all of them have the correct

firmware to print the PDF417 Barcode correctly. In some cases, firmware upgrades or changes

may need to be made. Check with your hardware manufacturer for details.

l Fonts: Loftware does NOT recommend the use of TrueType Fonts for labels, as these are

downloaded as images which can significantly decrease the throughput time. GM does NOT

require you to use TrueType fonts at this time; however, any Native Fonts utilized must be

equivalent.

l Please check with the Printer Manufacturer for this information regarding your printer’s ability

to print the PDF417 barcode before calling Loftware for support.

3. A PDF417 scanner or viewer is not required but is recommended in order to view the accuracy of

your design and formula prior to submission to GM. GM mentions laser raster scanners and

viewers in its documentation.
