Defining Bar Code Options 4-13

D e f i n i n g t h e Q u i c k R e sp o n s e O p t i o n s T ag ( O p t i o n al )

Use the Options tag to define Quick Response-specific information. The Quick Response bar
code is identified by either qr or quickresponse.

Quick Response (QR Code) is a two-dimensional bar code, which is made up of square
modules arranged in an overall square pattern. A unique finder pattern is located at three
corners of the symbol. Four levels of error correction are available, along with a wide range of
symbol sizes.

Model 1 is the original specification.

Model 2 is an enhanced form that includes additional features.

The maximum number of characters depends on the type of characters entered for the batch
data and differs for the two models of QR Code.

QR Code can accommodate Japanese Kana and Kanji characters and has a variety of
applications, including marking spark plugs, radiators, printed circuit boards, and test tubes.
Refer to the AIM International Symbology Specification for more details about data
requirements.

Valid values include: a 32-bit unsigned decimal number.

It contains the following attributes: model, mpclstyle, security, datamode, barcodemode,
paritybyte, codenumber, and codecount.
