DataMatrix Specification



DataMatrix is a 2-D matrix code designed to pack a lot of information in a very small space. A Data Matrix symbol can store between one and 500 characters. The symbol is also scalable between a 1-mil square to a 14-inch square. That means that a Data Matrix symbol has a maximum theoretical density of 500 million characters to the inch! The practical density will, of course, be limited by the resolution of the printing and reading technology used.

Use Caret (^)
The UseCaret propeties is set to true by default which is only apply to Code128, UccEan128, Sscc18, Scc14, PDF417, MacroPDF417, QR Code, and DataMatrix etc. where full ASCII is accepted as encoding. The 3 digits data following the caret will be treated as ASCII code, e.g. ^010 is \n; ^009 is a tab; ^065 is character 'A'.

DataMatrix Properties
Besides the properties to general barcode, the following properties belongs to DataMatrix only:

DataMatrixBarSize gets or sets the narrow bar size in inches for DataMatrix. Default is 0.02 inch.
DataMatrixEncodingMode gets or sets the DataMatrix encoding mode. Default is Ascii encoding. Four type of mode available:
(1) Ascii: it is used to encode data that mainly contains ASCII characters (0-127).
(2) C40: it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and upper case characters.
(3) Text: it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and lower case characters.
(4) Base256: it is used to encode 8 bit values.
DataMatrixPreferredFormat gets or sets the DataMatrix DataMatrixPreferredFormat. Default is Auto.
