2-Dimensional Code Features

• Much Higher Data Density than Bar Codes

* The same number of digits can be expressed in 1/10th to 1/100th the space of bar codes due to higher density.

* 2-dimensional codes can be printed in tiny spaces where bar codes simply will not fit.

• Large Data Volume

* Maximum data volume of 1 KB. This is the equivalent of about 7,000 English characters.

• Data can be Printed Directly onto Objects

* Using a Laser Marker or similar device, codes can be printed directly onto objects, making it possible to integrate objects and information.

• Error Correction Function Provides Strong Resistance to Soiling and Scratches

* When the code is soiled or damaged, this function makes it possible to restore the read data to the original data.

* The error correction level can be set when encoding. When set to the maximum level, codes can be restored even when 1/2 or more of the code has been damaged.

• High Flexibility in Reading Direction and Angle

* Using a 2-dimensional CCD scanner, codes can be read from all direction (360°).

* Work efficiency is increased because the object with the 2-dimensional code can be read from any angle.
