Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the QR barcode. For the properties of other barcode types, see
"Barcode type and properties" on page617.
Module size
Enter the size of the square modules in pixels.
Auto configure
When this option is checked, the barcode generator overwrites the selected Preferred version
(see below) and defines the barcode version based on the supplied data.
Preferred version
There are 40 sizes of QR codes. Select the preferred version for the QR code.
Encoding
This option defines the encoding of the barcode. When Auto is selected, the barcode generator
determines the encoding based on the supplied string. The other options are:
l
Numeric: 10 bits per 3 digits, with a maximum of 7089 numerical characters.
l
Alphanumeric: 11 bits per 2 characters, with a maximum of 4296 alphanumerical
characters.
l
Byte: 8 bits per character, with a maximum of 2953 characters.
l
Kanji: 13 bits per character, with a maximum of 1817 characters.
Extended Channel Interpretation (ECI)
This setting enables data using character sets other than the default set. Select Latin-1, Latin-
2, Shift JIS or UTF-8, or select None to disable extended channel interpretation.
Correction level
Part of the robustness of QR codes in the physical environment is their ability to sustain
'damage' and continue to function even when a part of the QR code image is obscured,
defacedorremoved. A higher correction level duplicates data within the QR Code to that effect,
making it larger.
