Fill-in the text that you want to encode and, optionally, select the individual Data Matrix parameters (below) to create your own Data Matrix 2D Symbol. One Data Matrix symbol can encode up to 3,116 numeric characters, or 2,335 alphanumeric characters, or 1,555 8-bit ASCII characters. See the Data Matrix Capacity spreadsheet (Excel) for details.

Data to Encode:

Scroll down for optional parameters.

Home

	Cell Size: The number of pixels per cell. The larger the value, the bigger the resulting Data Matrix image.
	Quiet Zone: Number of cells to use for the quiet zone. The Quiet Zone is the clear area around the Data Matrix. A minimum value of "1" is recommended by specification.
	Inverse Polarity: Check this box if you would like a white symbol on black background (ie a negative image).
	Mirror Image: Check this box for a mirror image. (flipped vertically).
	Rectangular: Check this box if you would like a rectangular symbol. The default is square. Do NOT check this box if you specify the density below!
HINT:	Leave the density blank and the smallest density will be used.
	Density: Number of rows and columns in the Data Matrix. This value is determined by the amount and type (ie alpha, numeric, 8-bit ASCII) of data that is encoded. Leave the density blank and the smallest density will be used. If you'd like a rectangular Data Matrix symbol, select the appropriate row/column density or leave the density blank and check the "Rectangular" box above.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE!
You can create programming Data Matrix symbols for the MXi handheld imager by using the following formats:

~3ILLUM BF START 1~d029ILLUM DF END 12

~3SAVE 6 ~d034MYJOB~d034 BOOT The first sequence will change some of the parameters and the second sequence will store the changes under Job number 6 with the name "MYJOB" and force those settings to be used during boot-up. You can cut-and-paste either of these lines (not both at the same time!) into the text box above and modify them to suit your needs. The "~3" at the beginning of each line tells the MXi to expect a programming command to follow. The "~d029" tells the MXi to expect multiple commands on one line. The "~d034" sends a double-quote character, which is used in this instance to surround the job name with quotes.
