Bar Code Support: 2-D Bar Codes - Lexmark X644E User Manual

D. Bar Code Support: 2-D Bar Codes
Two-dimensional (2-D) bar codes (sometimes called matrix symbologies) allow large amounts of data to
be encoded in a small area. The information is represented in a two-dimensional matrix. The printer
supports four 2-D bar code symbologies as shown in the table below.
Column Labels:
Type = Value for Bar Code Type
(Bar Code Symbol Descriptor Byte 12; Bar Code Data Descriptor Byte 16)
Mod = Modifier Value
(Bar Code Symbol Descriptor Byte 13; Bar code Data Descriptor Byte 17)
Type Bar Code Type
1C Data Matrix
1D MaxiCode
1E PDF417
20 QR Code
The printer supports several additional parameters defined for printing bar codes in the IPDS data stream.
These parameters are described in the following sections. Additional information on these parameters
may be found in the "Bar Code Object Content Architecture (BCOCA) Reference" (publication S544-
3766-05).
Mod Description
00 Print a Data Matrix bar code symbol using error checking and
correcting algorithm 200 as defined in the AIM International
Symbology Specification – Data Matrix.
00 Print a MaxiCode bar code symbol as defined in the AIM
International Symbology Specification – MaxiCode.
PDF417 bar code as defined in the AIM International Symbology
Specification – PDF417.
00 Print a full PDF417 bar code symbol.
01 Print a truncated PDF417 bar code symbol. The right row indicator is
not printed and the stop pattern is printed in a single module width
bar. For use in a relatively clean environment where risk of damage
to the bar code is minimal.
02 Print a Model 2 QR Bar Code symbol as defined in AIM
International Symbology Specification – QR Code.
