[Supplementary Explanation]
1. Minimum module width can be set to 01 and 02; however, this may not be read properly.
2. 01, 02, and 03 are designable for Minimum module height however; it may cause a reading problem.
3. When d=e=00, aspect ratio will be at 1:2 based on the number of print data.
4. When specifying security level height, parameter d or e should have large number.
5. Maximum number of digit of data is 2,681, but it varies depending on Minimum module size, Security level and type
of print data.
6. When parameter d and e doesn't match number of data, print may not be performed properly.
7. When Micro PDF is specified by PDF type, number per symbol is specified by number of data codeword per line,
and accordingly maximum number of data digit is specified. For details, refer to "Symbol size and number of data" in
next page.
8. When specifying Micro PDF by PDF code type, security level is disabled.
[Point]
1. Sequential number is not available.
2. Specifying print position by automatic line feed is not available.
3. Print 00H to FFH is available.
4. Format registration is available.
5. Enlarging minimum module size improves print quality.
6. Increasing security level improves read rate.
7. Print height varies depending on the character such as numeric only, alphabet only or mixture of numeric and
alphabets.
