,m4 The total number of symbols in the group 0 - 16
,m5 File identifier 1 - 254
,m6 File identifier 1 - 254
For example, setting ,m3,m4,m5,m6 to 2,5,1,43 indicates that the current
symbol definition is the second in a group of 5 with the file identifier of
1,43.

QR Code
c18[,m1][,m2][,m3]
QR Code is a matrix 2D symbology that encodes data into patterns
consisting of black and white dots or modules. A three position detection
pattern enables omni-directional reading and ultra high-speed reading. QR
Code can handle a wide range of data, including numerical, alphabetical,
Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, graphics, and control codes. A built-in error
correction function enables the QR Code to repair errors in the code.
