W1C: DataMatrix with Byte Count Specifier
Specified Length – The upper case C identifies a DataMatrix bar code with a string 4-
digit length specifier. This allows values 0x00 through 0xFF to be included within the
data strings without conflicting with the DPL format record terminators. The four-digit
decimal data byte count immediately follows the four-digit column position field. This
value includes all of the data following the byte count field, but does not include itself.

From the example above, the bar code’s data stream,
1W1C440000100010000292000000000 Datamax<0x0D>prints best
includes a Byte Count Specifier (the portion in bold), where 0029
equals the four-digit decimal data byte count and includes all
bytes that follow until the end of the bar code data. Field
termination is set by the byte count. , , and <0x0D> all
represent single byte values of hexadecimal 02, 0D, and 0D,
respectively. The DataMatrix bar code produced encodes
“Datamaxprints best,” and prints a line of text: Barcode
W1C.
