Lexmark X463 - Bar Code Support: 2-D Bar Codes

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:
Code = 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)
Module Width = Module Width in mils
(Bar Code Symbol Descriptor Byte 17)
Code Bar Code Type Mod Module Width Description
1C Data Matrix 00 Range: 0x0C-0xFE
Default: 0x15 *
Print a Data Matrix bar code symbol using
error checking and correcting algorithm 200
as defined in the AIM International
Symbology Specification – Data Matrix.
1D MaxiCode 00 Range: 0x07-0x38
Default: 0x0D *
Print a MaxiCode bar code symbol as defined
in the AIM International Symbology
Specification – MaxiCode.
1E PDF417
00
01
Range: 0x07-0xFE
Default: 0x0E *
PDF417 bar code as defined in the AIM
International Symbology Specification –
PDF417.
Print a full PDF417 bar code symbol.
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.
20 QR Code 02 Range: 0x0C-0xFE
Default: 0x15 *
Print a Model 2 QR Bar Code symbol as
defined in AIM International Symbology
Specification – QR Code.
* Defaults indicates the produced width when the host selects 0xFF to select the optimal symbol size.
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).
