P - Proportion symbol number/quantity of symbols
The symbol size (height/width in rows) of DataMatrix bar code
depends on the set ECC level.
In case you set 0 for proportion height/width then height/width is
calculated by means of the data. Nevertheless it is also possible to set
manually corresponding to the following notes:
ECC from 0 to 140
height in rows = width in rows (square symbol)
height/width odd
minimum height/width = 9 (indication software library)
the minimum height/width depends additionally on the coded data
and ECC level
maximum height/width = 49 (indication software library)
ECC of 200
square and rectangular symbols possible
even height/width
minimum height/width = 8 (indication software library)
the minimum height depends on the coded data
maximum height/width = 144 (indication software library)

It is NOT possible to enter the proportions 104:104 to 144:144 in
StandAlone mode.
C - Error Correction Code
It is possible to set various levels of ECC. This setting has an effect to
the size of the bar code symbol (see proportion height/width). Special
case is ECC 200 which operates with the Reed-Solomon-Algorithms.
In the software library are ECC levels defined as ECC types 0 to 26.
The selection of ECC level results by entry of 0..9 from the following
table.

ECC levels that are displayed in grey are not specified and therefore
not supported from the printer.
R - Rotation of code
0 = 0 degrees, 1 = 90 degrees, 2 = 180 degrees, 3 = 270 degrees
(see also Rotation of text, code and graphic, on page 53).
