The default values are as follows.
Data Matrix Size
17 x 17 or less
18 x 18 to 32 x 32
Encoding capacity
The capacity of the Data Matrix field depends on the size, as shown in Table 6-11. If the
amount of encoded data is greater than the capacity, the printer displays an empty box
instead of the field. Increase the size of the field or decrease the amount of data.
NOTE: The Data Matrix format uses some capacity for error correction. Table 6-11 shows
the maximum available capacity for numeric, alphanumeric, or binary data for each
symbol size. The printer sets the encoding mode automatically for the type of data
included in the symbol.

method that is used depends on the type of source data.
