PDF 417
PDF 417 is a stacked two-dimensional symbology that provides the ability
to scan across rows of code. Each row consists of start/stop characters, row
identifiers, and symbol characters, which consist of four bars and four
spaces each and contain the actual data. This symbology uses error correc-
tion symbol characters appended at the end to recover loss of data.
Because the virtual wedge translates incoming data into keypad input, the
size of the keypad buffer limits the effective length of the label to 128
characters. Longer labels may be truncated. For PDF 417 labels of more
than 128 characters, you can develop an application that bypasses the key-
pad buffer.
