l Encoding: Define the encoding of the Barcode:
l Auto: Automatically detect the data content and encodes using the most
appropriate method. This is the default option.
l Numeric: 7089 numerical characters.
l Alphanumeric: 4296 alphanumerical characters.
l Byte: 2953 characters.
l Kanji: 1817 Japanese/Chinese characters.
l Version: Select the preferred QR code version (which sets the data length field)from the
40 available.
Note
The Encoding and Version fields work together to determine how many characters
are encoded within a length field.The following table shows the number of bits in a
length field, based upon the selections made:
Encoding Ver. 1-9 Ver. 10-23 Ver. 27-40
Numeric 10 12 14
Alphanumeric 9 11 13
Byte 8 16 16
Kanji 8 10 12
l Error Correction Level: Part of the robustness of QR codes is their ability to sustain
“damage” and continue to function even when a part of the QR code image is obscured,
defacedorremoved. A higher correction level duplicates data within the QR Code to
allow for damaged areas. The higher the Error Correction Level, the larger the Barcode
will be. The choices are (in order from lowest to highest):Low, Medium, Quartile and
High.
l Use ECI for encoding messages as bytes: Selecting Extended Channel Interpretations
(ECI)allows encoding multiple character sets (e.g. Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew) and
other data interpretations, into one QR Code symbol.
