1. Data Matrix Introduction

Data Matrix is also known as Data Matrix, ECC200.

Compatibility: Barcode for .NET component is compatible with ISO/IEC 16022 (Second edition 2006-09-15)

DataMatrix is a two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbology which can store from 1 to about 2,000 characters.
DataMatrix ECC200 version supports advanced encoding error checking and correction algorithms (reed-solomon). Those algorithms allow the recognition of barcodes that are up to 60% damaged.

DataMatrix is being used to encode product and serial number information on electrical rating plates; to mark of surgical instruments in Japan; to identify lenses, circuit boards, and other items during manufacturing.
Barcode Library supports all DataMatrix Formats and the data represented in the symbol can be compressed using one of following algorithms.
  • ASCII (0): it is used to encode data that mainly contains ASCII characters (0-127). This is the default encoding format by Barcode Library.
  • C40 (1): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and upper case characters.
  • Text (2): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and lower case characters.
  • Base256 (3): it is used to encode 8 bit values.

2. Data Matrix Encoding Data Scope

Data Matrix Barcode for .NET, ASP.NET supports:
  • all 128 characters of ASCII


 

3. Data Matrix Property Settings

  • Set the Data property with the value to encode. Type is string.
  • Set the BinaryData property with the binary value to encode. Type is byte[]. Once this property value is not null, barcode library will encode this value instead of property Data's value.
  • Set the Encoding property. Valid value is DataMatrixEncoding.ASCII (default), DataMatrixEncoding.C40, DataMatrixEncoding.Text, DataMatrixEncoding.Base256.
    • ASCII (0): it is used to encode data that mainly contains ASCII characters (0-127).
    • C40 (1): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and upper case characters.
    • Text (2): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and lower case characters.
    • Base256 (3): it is used to encode 8 bit values.
  • Set the Format property. Type is DataMatrixFormat. Default is DataMatrixFormat.Auto. Specifies the DataMatrix Format to use on that symbology.
  • Setting up barcode image size:
    • Set property UOM (Unit of Measure) for properties ModuleSize, LeftMargin, RightMargin, TopMargin and BottomMargin.
      Default is UnitOfMeasure.Pixel (0). Valid values are UnitOfMeasure.Pixel (0), UnitOfMeasure.CM (1), UnitOfMeasure.Inch (2).
    • Set the ModuleSize (for bar cell width and height). Type is float. Default is 5.
    • Set the LeftMargin, RightMargin, TopMargin and BottomMargin properties.
      Types are all float. Default are 10.
    • Set the Resolution property (Value is expressed in DPI - Dots per inch). This property is not working in Windows Controller, we will use end user's windows resultion.
  • Set the ImageFormat property for barcode image type. Value can be "gif", "jpg", "png", and "bmp", default is "png".
  • Set the ProcessTilde property to true, if you want use the tilde character "~" to specify special characters in the input data. Default is true.
    • ~1: is used to represent the FNC1 code
    • ~2: is used to represent the Structured Append and must be followed by a 3-digit number between 1 and 255
    • ~3: is used only at the very beginning of the symbol for the reader programming purpose.
    • ~5: is used only at the very beginning of the symbol, the header [)> + ASCII 30 + ASCII 05 + ASCII 29 will be transmitted by the barcode reader before the data in the message and the trailer ASCII 30 + ASCII 4 will be transmitted afterwards.
    • ~6: is used only at the very beginning of the symbol, the header [)> + ASCII 30 + ASCII 06 + ASCII 29 will be transmitted by the barcode reader before the data in the message and the trailer ASCII 30 + ASCII 4 will be transmitted afterwards.
    • ~7NNNNNN: is used to specify the Extended Channel and NNNNNN is a value between 000000 and 999999.
    • ~dNNN: is used to represent the ASCII character with the value of NNN.
