(15) Explanation for Data Matrix
ECC type
Data Matrix contains a function to correct a code reading error using an error
correction code (ECC) and restore normal data.
ECC should be designated according to usage. The general correction ability is as
follows. However, it may vary according to the error conditions.
ECC type
ECC0
ECC50
ECC80
ECC100
ECC140
ECC200
Format ID
Data Matrix can handle all codes including alphanumerics, symbols and Kanji. Since
data compression rate varies according to codes, a code to be used is designated
using the format ID.
