ECC 200 symbols:
There are 24 square symbol sizes available, with both row and column dimensions, which may be
specified in fields jjj and kkk, measured in modules as indicated in the following list - 10, 12, 14, 16,
18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 120, 132, and 144. If an ECC 200
symbol is specified with odd numbers of rows or columns, the next largest even value will be used.
Input values greater than 144 or less than 10 will cause the symbol to be automatically sized for the
input character stream. The record format is shown here, expanded with spaces.

Where:
Field Valid Inputs Meaning
a
1,2,3, and 4 Rotation
W
W Fixed value, extended bar code set
b[b]
c, 1c Selects the DataMatrix bar code - the two differing values
have no other significance.
c
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Module size horizontal multiplier
d
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Module size vertical multiplier
eee
000 to 999 No effect; Must be numeric
ffff
0000 to 9999 Label position, row
gggg
0000 to 9999 Label position, column
hhh
200 ECC 200 uses Reed-Solomon error correction.
i
0 Fixed value, not used
jjj
10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,
22, 24, 26, 32, 36, 40,
44, 48, 52, 64, 72, 80,
88, 96, 104, 120, 132,
144
A 3 digit even number (or 000) of rows requested.
000 causes rows to be automatically determined. The symbol
will be sized to a square if the rows and columns do not match
by taking the larger of the two values.
kkk
10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,
22, 24, 26, 32, 36, 40,
44, 48, 52, 64, 72, 80,
88, 96, 104, 120, 132,
144
A 3 digit even number (or 000) of columns requested.
000 causes columns to be automatically determined. The
symbol will be sized to a square if the rows and columns do
not match by taking the larger of the two values.
