determines the encoding based on the supplied string. The other options are:
l

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, 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.
FNC
Use the drop-down to either disable FNC or select a FNC option:
l
First: This mode indicator identifies symbols encoding data formatted according tothe
UCC/EAN Application Identifiers
l
Second: This mode indicator identifies symbols formatted in accordance with specific
industry or application specifications previously agreed with AIM International. You must
then set a value for the Application Indicator property.
Scale
Defines if and how the rendered barcode is scaled in relation to the parent element:
l
None: The barcode is rendered based on the module width.
l
Fit to box: The barcode is stretched to fit the parent box in both width and height.
