Com mand - 2D Bar Code - PDF417 Specific Op tions
Auto-En cod ing (
c0
) data com paction method
is set by de fault, and provides the best compac-
tion. If Bi nary data compaction (
c1
) is se lected
the symbol will typically be larger. Binary data
compaction may help to minimize the amount
of time it takes a sys tem to scan and de code the
data en coded within the sym bol.
Data Type
Compaction (Byte by Byte)
Text
2 Char acters per code word
Nu meric
2.93 Characters per code word
Bi nary
1.2 Bytes per code word
•
Text compaction can be used for up percase,
low er case, num bers, space, car riage re turn,
tab, line feed, and the following char acters:
&,:#-.$/+%*=^;@[\]_’~!"|(){}`
With text com paction, up to two char acters
can be encoded in a sin gle code word.
•
Numeric compaction can be used for num-
bers only. Up to 2.93 char acters can be en -
coded in a sin gle code word.
•
Byte compaction can be used for any charac-
ter. But the flex ibility comes at a price; byte
com pac tion en codes only 1.2 char ac ters per
code word.
