[Notes]
1. Min. module width 01, 02 dot are not recommendable with a risk of lower scanner-readability.
2. Min. module height 01, 02, 03dot are not recommendable with a risk of lower scanner-readability.
3. When both “data codeword per line” and “number of data digit” are set to 00, aspect ratio (V x H) will be set automatically to 1:2.
4. Higher Security Level will require larger numbers for “rows per symbol” or “data codeword per line”.
5. Maximum number of data digit is 2681. However, the number of data digit is also restricted by and subject to minimum module size, security code
level and type of print data.
6. Parameters and data size being inconsistent will not print.
7. When Micro PDF is specified, “line per symbol” is subject to “data codeword per line” , and thus, maximum number of data digit will be
automatically defined. Consult the table in next page for details.
8. Security level setup is disabled for Micro PDF.
[Tips]
1. No sequential numbering is possible for PDF417.
2. No print position setting is possible by auto-CR.
3. 00H~FFH can be specified as print data.
4. Increase minimum module dimensions for better quality, as necessary.
5. Increase Security Level for better scanner-readability, as necessary.
6. Height of print image will differ for alphabet, numeric, and alpha-numeric data.
