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.
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.
