For details, refer to "Micro PDF417 – symbol size and number of data" below.
• Recommended to specify more than 2 dots for 8 dots/mm and 12 dots/mm print head, and
4 dots for 24 dots/mm print head because the minimum module width and minimum module
height of QR code may not be read by the scanner.

looks may differ due to the change, however the read result is the same.
