MicroPDF417
c19[,m1][,m2]
MicroPDF417 is a 2D symbology, derived from PDF417. You use
MicroPDF417 for applications needing improved area efficiency but
without the requirement for PDF417’s maximum data capacity.
MicroPDF417 replaces PDF417’s 17-module-wide start/stop patterns and
left/right row indicators with a unique set of 10-module-wide Row
Address Patterns, which were designed both to reduce overall symbol
width and to enable linear scanning at row heights as low as 2X.
MicroPDF417, unlike PDF417, may only be printed in certain defined
combinations of number of data columns (m1) and number of data rows
(m2), up to a maximum of 4 data columns by 44 data rows.
Values for m1 and m2
Parameter Default Description
m1 0 Sets the number of data columns in the printed symbol.
The default setting (0) allows the printer to determine
the most efficient size for given data. Possible values are 0
through 4.
m2 0 Sets the number of data rows in the printed symbol. The
default setting (0) allows the printer to determine the
most efficient size for given data. Possible values depend
on the setting for m1.
