Aztec Code
Field Description
Symbology
Select Aztec Code from the drop down list. For a complete list of
available symbologies along with examples and descriptions of each,
please refer to the topic
Barcode Symbology Reference .
Code Format
This setting determines the size of the barcode (along with error
correction and code module size). The smallest Aztec Code symbol
encodes 13 numeric or 12 alphabetic characters, while the largest
Aztec Code symbol encodes 3832 numeric or 3067 alphabetic
characters or 1914 bytes of data. No quiet zone is required outside
the bounds of the symbol. There are 32 sizes from which to choose,
plus an additional 4 compact sizes. You can leave this setting at
Auto to have Labeler determine the size based on the included
content.
Error
Correction
This settings determines the amount of RS (Reed-Solomon) error
correction for the barcode. This allows the scanner to read the
barcode correctly even in the case of a partially damaged barcode.
You can choose from 5% to 95% of the data in the barcode for error
correction.
The higher the amount of data you select for error correction, the
larger your barcode will be. This makes your barcode less
susceptible to damage, but could potentially make it harder to read if
your barcode contains a large amount of data. The default setting is
23%. This correction amount (23%) is usually the amount of
correction necessary to make your barcode data safe from damage,
while also ensuring readability by most scanners.
Code Rune
You can optionally create a "rune" containing the value 0 - 255, if
needed. Aztec runes are small, machine-readable symbols.
Code Module
Size
A module in an Aztec barcode is a square dot and is the smallest
component of the barcode. In essence, the barcode is made up of
many light and dark square modules. You can adjust the module size
up, which will increase the size of your barcode, or down to decrease
it.
