Specifications

Example:
Effects of ^BY on ^BX
w = module (no effect – see dimensions of individual symbol elements)
r = ratio (no effect)
h = height of symbol
If the dimensions of individual symbol elements are not specified in the
^BD command, the height of symbol value will be divided by the
required rows/columns, rounded, limited to a minimum value of one,
and used as the dimensions of individual symbol elements.
Field Data (^FD) for ^BX
Quality 000 to 140
•
The “\&” and “||” can be used to insert carriage return/line feed and back slash as with
PDF417. Other characters in the control character range can only be inserted by using
^FH. Field data is limited to 596 characters for quality “0” to “140.” Excess field
data will cause no symbol to be printed; if ^CVY is on, INVALID-L will be printed.
The field data must correspond to a user-specified format ID or no symbol will be
printed; if ^CVY is on, INVALID-C will be printed.
•
The maximum field sizes for quality “0” to “140” symbols are shown in the following
table:
Quality 200
•
If more than 3072 characters are supplied as field data, it is truncated to 3072
characters. This limits the maximum size of a numeric Data Matrix symbol to less
than the 3116 numeric characters that the specification would allow. The maximum
alphanumeric capacity is 2335 and the maximum 8-bit byte capacity is 1556.
•
If ^FH is used, field hex processing takes place before the escape sequence processing
described below.
•
The underscore is the default escape sequence control character for quality “200” field
data. A different escape sequence control character may be selected by using
parameter g in the ^BX command.
