Data Matrix

Important: If Q-Mode is enabled, Data Matrix ECC status is autodiscriminating and all ECC levels are active if any of the ECC status fields are set to Enabled.

Usage:
Very useful where information needs to be packed into a small area, and/or where symbols need to be applied directly to the substrate with laser etching, chemical etching, dot peen, or other methods.
Definition:
Data Matrix is a type of Matrix symbology and has subsets ECC 000 - ECC 200.
ECC 200 symbols have an even number of rows and an even number of columns. Most of the symbols are square with sizes from 10x10 to 144x144. Some symbols, however, are rectangular, with sizes from 8x18 to 16x48. All ECC 200 symbols can be recognized by the upper right corner module being light (binary 0) instead of dark.
