OUTPUT
(4-30)
NOTES
The minimum module width can be set to 01 and 02; however, it may not read
properly. 01, 02, and 03 are designable for minimum module height and may cause a
reading problem.
If specifying “00” for Number of Data Code Words per Digit and Digit Number per
Symbol, the size of height to width (aspect ratio) will be at 1:2 based on the number of
print data.
If increasing the security level, it is necessary to specify a higher value for Digit
Number per Symbol or Number of Data Code Words per Digit.
The maximum Digit Number of Data is 2681; however, it may vary depending on the
specification of minimum module size, security level, and print data type.
If the specification of parameter or number of data is not matching, printing will not be
properly performed.
