Datamatrix
|
In order to enter non-printable characters (binary data) in the barcode text, they must be packaged in a special string. The data is inserted using the ~dNNN string, whereby NNN stands for ASCII-Code. Example: DEA~d065~d015~d000~d247~d220 (~d065 stands for "A") To represent an EAN data matrix, you can code the special FNC1 character as ~1. The Datamatrix symbology uses the ECC 200 error correction code. Note the options dialog, where you can set the module format and the encoding. |
PDF417
|
Can display all available and non-printable characters. Note the options dialog, where you can set the Error correction, Truncated and the x:y ratio. In order to enter non-printable characters (binary data) in the barcode text, they must be packaged in a special string. The data is inserted using the "{binary:nn}" string, whereby nn stands for any sequence of two-character hexadecimal numbers. This is especially important if Maxicodes are to be created according to UPS specifications; the special characters needed for this can be entered in this way: In order to pack a Null and a Backspace (BS) character in the data, use "{binary:0008}" (corresponds to "{binary:00}{binary:08}"). Use "Hallo{binary:0d0a}World" to include a line break. |
MicroPDF417 |
Can display all available and non-printable characters. Note the options dialog, where you can set the Format, Encoding and the x:y ratio. The MicroPDF417 supports an even higher information density than PDF417 - the x:y bar ratio can be set as low as 1:1. |
