Code One
Code One was invented in 1992 and is the earliest public domain matrix barcode. It uses
a finder pattern of horizontal and vertical bars crossing the middle of the symbol. The
symbol can encode ASCII data, error correction data, function characters, and binary
encoded data.
Code One is currently used in the health care industry for medicine labels and the
recycling industry to encode container content for sorting.

Note: Setting the Size of the Code One barcode will set the minimum
matrix size. If the encoded data requires a larger matrix, the matrix size
will be increased as required. (The default is 0 which will auto size the
symbol)
