Syntax
Z [:[symbol type [min code no.[−max code no.]]]
[;symbol type [min code no.[−max code no.]]]]
For symbol type, you can specify one of the values shown below.
Symbol type Applicable code
S Square Data Matrix
R Rectangular Data Matrix
“min code no.” and “max code no.” are the minimum and maximum DataMatrix code numbers that
can be read, respectively. The table below shows the allowable range of code numbers by symbol
type.
Allowable range of code number Symbol type
1 to 24 S
1 to 6 R
If you do not specify the symbol type, both Square Data Matrix and Rectangular Data Matrix can be
read.
“min code no.” and “max code no.” must satisfy the following relationship:
min code no. ≤ max code no.
If you omit both the minimum and maximum code numbers, you can read DataMatrix codes of a full
range (up to the maximum allowable) of code numbers for each symbol type. If you omit only the
maximum code number, you can read only the DataMatrix code of the minimum code number you
specify. The table below shows the correspondence between the code number and the number of cells.
