Datamatrix
Fig. 7_149: Drawing for the Datamatrix
In conformity with GS1
Datamatrix is a two-dimensional matrix symbology. Only the ISO version
ECC 200 of the Datamatrix is admissible for EAN applications, as only this
version provides the symbology protection usual for EAN. In analogy to
the EAN 128 barcode, this is ensured by coding in the first position of the
Datamatrix the function character 1 (FNC1).
Other FNC1 characters as "group separator" are placed in the correct
position automatically by the m600 basic.
The GS1-compliant code (EAN Datamatrix) can be activated via the
selection field. Subsequently, data input has to be effected analogously to
the EAN 128 barcode. The data identifier is entered in brackets, followed
by the data contents. The brackets are not coded into the Datamatrix.
NOTE
If, for example, a module size of 10 x 10 was selected
and “Both nozzle rows” (= 600 dpi vertical resolution)
and a resolution in the printing direction (= 600 dpi
horizontal resolution) was set on the m600 basic, the
module will be printed with 10 x 10 pixels.
If, for example, the m600 basic is set to “Left nozzle row”
(= 300 dpi vertical resolution) and a resolution in the
printing direction (= e. g. 120 dpi horizontal resolution)
is selected, the module will be printed with just 2 x 2
pixels, even though the basic area is the same.
a) Module size of 10 x 10 for setting 600 x 600 dpi
b) Module size of 10 x 10 for setting 300 x 120 dpi
If "Lengthwise reduction
= 2" and "Crosswise
reduction = 2" is entered,
the module size is reduced
by this surface.
If "Lengthwise reduction
= 2" and "Crosswise
reduction = 2" is entered,
the module size is reduced
by this surface.
