Table Of Contents
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.
l Multi-part QR Code (structured append): Select to append a QR Code symbol in a
structured format.
l Part: indicates the position of the QR Code symbol within the group of Structured
Append symbols.
l of: indicates how many Structured Append symbols exist.
Note
The Structured Append symbols Part number can never exceed the sum total
of Structured Append symbols available (the "of" value). Thus selecting a Part
number beyond the existing sum total will increase the sum total to the same
value.
