Sample Data Matrix Packets
Data Matrix (ECC-200) is a two-dimensional bar code which is
made up of square modules arranged within a perimeter finder
pattern. There are 24 square symbol sizes available ranging from
10 rows by 10 columns to 144 rows by 144 columns. There are
six rectangular symbol sizes available ranging from 8 rows by 8
columns to 16 rows by 48 columns. The symbol size is data
dependent. Data Matrix automatically pads data.
The Data Matrix bar code is only available on the 9840 V6.5 (or
greater) and 9850 printers.
Make sure you do not overlay other fields when designing your
Data Matrix symbol. Smart imaging is automatically disabled on
formats with a Data Matrix bar code. You should also allow a 3 or
4 dot "quiet zone" (blank space around the bar code’s perimeter)
for scanning. See "Defining a Bar Code Field" for more
information.
