Specific Parameters
Minimum Symbol Size
Choose the number of cells to use for your barcode (in the format “horizontal cells x vertical cells”).
Note:
If the number of cells you choose for your symbol is too small to encode the data you entered in
Code
, Dynamic Barcodes will use a bigger symbol size automatically.
Error Correction
Error correction adds check sums to the barcode to detect and correct incorrect data. You can choose one of the following
Error correction
levels:
• Level
L
: 7% of codewords can be restored.
• Level
M
: 15% of codewords can be restored.
• Level
Q
: 25% of codewords can be restored.
• Level
H
: 30% of codewords can be restored.
Note:
Keep in mind that a higher correction level makes the barcode bigger (as more check sums are added to the barcode) and may limit the maximum length of the encoded data.
Width / Height
The
Width
and
Height
parameters depend on the
Cell Size
and the number of cells used for the symbol (
Minimum Symbol Size
).
For example, a symbol of 15 x 15 cells where each cell is 2 mm gives a Width and Height of 30 x 30 mm.
SICK Code
About this Barcode...
SICK is a bar code used in the German packaging industry. It's a binary bar code, using a thick bar for a 0, and a thin bar for a 1. It can have up to 12 bars. It can encode numeric or binary data.
• In binary mode all digits are encoded including leading zeroes, ie. "0001" is encoded as a three thin and one thick bar.
