PDF417 2-D Barcode
PDF417 is a multi-row, variable length symbology offering high data capacity
and error correction capability. Linear scanners, rastering laser scanners, or
two-dimensional imaging devices can scan PDF417. One PDF417 symbol is
capable of encoding more than 1100 bytes, 1800 ASCII characters or 2700
digits, depending on the selected data compaction mode.
Every PDF417 symbol is composed of a stack of rows, from a minimum of 3
to a maximum of 90 rows. Each PDF417 row contains start and stop patterns,
left and right row indicators, and from 1 to 30 data symbol characters. Since
both the number of rows and their length are selectable, the aspect ratio of a
PDF417 symbol can be varied to suit spatial requirements for printing.
See “PDF417 In Code V” on page 312 to print the PDF417 barcode
sequence.
