ECC#
The ECC# parameter is used to set the level of error correction of the PDF-417 symbol with
a default value set to 0. Refer to Table 11 for the valid ECC# and their equivalent correction
codewords.

Aztec

Aztec is a high density 2 dimensional barcode that can encode up to 3750 characters from
the entire 256 byte ASCii character set. Aztec also has the potential to use less space than
other matrix style barcodes because it does not require quiet zones.
@aztec is the CI entry.
Aztec barcodes deviate from the normal structure of this command.

Configuration
This parameter used to set the size and the number of characters to encode. A value of
"auto" will generate an automatically scaled Aztec. The configuration and the size multiplier
control the overall size of the barcode.
