Defining Bar Code Options 4-13
Defining the Quick Response Options Tag (Optional)
Use the Options tag to define Quick Response-specific information. The Quick Response bar
code is identified by either qr or quickresponse.
Quick Response (QR Code) is a two-dimensional bar code, which is made up of square
modules arranged in an overall square pattern. A unique finder pattern is located at three
corners of the symbol. Four levels of error correction are available, along with a wide range of
symbol sizes.
♦ Model 1 is the original specification.
♦ Model 2 is an enhanced form that includes additional features.
The maximum number of characters depends on the type of characters entered for the batch
data and differs for the two models of QR Code.
QR Code can accommodate Japanese Kana and Kanji characters and has a variety of
applications, including marking spark plugs, radiators, printed circuit boards, and test tubes.
Refer to the AIM International Symbology Specification for more details about data
requirements.
Valid values include: a 32-bit unsigned decimal number.
It contains the following attributes: model, mpclstyle, security, datamode, barcodemode,
paritybyte, codenumber, and codecount.
Syntax <Options model=”value” mpclstyle=”value” security=”value”
datamode=”value” barcodemode=”value” paritybyte=”value”
codenumber=”value” codecount=”value” />
model Bar code models. The default is 2. There are two models: 1 and 2.
mpclstyle Use the mpclstyle to define this bar code. The default is 0. Options:
0 Use XML to define the bar code.
1 Use the mpclstyle to define the bar code. See “
Using MPCLSTYLE for the
Quick Response Bar Code
” for more information.
security Sets the error correction level for the bar code. The default is 2. Options:
1 High Density Level
2 Standard Level
3 High Reliability Level
4 Ultra High Reliability Level
Note: As you increase the error correction level, the maximum number of characters (in the
bar code) decreases.
datamode Describes the type of data entered in the bar code. The default is 1. Options:
1 Automatic Mode Detection
2 Manual, Alphanumeric Mode
3 Manual, Binary Mode
4 Manual, Kanji Mode
5 Manual, Numeric Mode
barcodemode Describes the bar code’s mode. The default is 1. There are two modes: 1
(Standard mode) or 2 (Structured Append Mode).
paritybyte Parity byte. Use only for Structured Append Mode. Use a two-digit number in
hexadecimal. There is no standard parity byte. The default is 1. Range: 1 to
255.
codenumber Use only for Structured Append Mode. The code number of the individual
symbol in the concatenated set. Use a two-digit number in decimal. The
default is 0. The range is 0 to 255.
codecount Use only for Structured Append Mode. The total number of symbols in the
concatenated set. Use a two-digit number in decimal. The default is 0. The
range is 0 to 255.
