This page concerns basic information of Data Matrix, as well as its generating and printing components.

Data Matrix Overview

Data Matrixis an orientation-independent 2D matrix barcode symbology, composed of black and white modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. With error correction codes added to increase security, Data Matrix can still be read even when damaged. Due to its large capacity of up to 2,335 alphanumeric characters, Data Matrix is widely used in many industries. ECC200 Data Matrix is recommended for new applications by ISO.
