BIRT Data Matrix Barcode Overview
KA.Barcode for BIRT is a mature and reliable barcoding encoder plug-in for Eclipse BIRT Reports. Developers can easily create and display Data Matrix in birt reports. Flexible barcode settings are also available for users to customize generated images.
What Is A Data Matrix Barcode
Data Matrix, also named as ECC200, 2D DataMatrix barcode, is a two-dimensional matrix barcode commonly used to mark small items. Being space-efficient, Data Matrix is recommended by American EIA for labeling small electronic components.
Data Matrix Barcode Valid Data Set
  • All 128 characters of ASCII

  • Values 128-255 in accordance with ISO 8859-1. There are referred to as extended ASCII.

Data Matrix Specific Settings
Data Matrix Data Mode AUTO Data Matrix data encoding mode.

Valid values are:

AUTO (0): Barcode library will decide the best data mode for you. This is the default encoding format by Barcode Library.

ASCII (1): it is used to encode data that mainly contains ASCII characters (0-127).

C40 (2): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and upper case characters.

TEXT (3): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and lower case characters.

X12 (4):it is used to encode the standard ANSI X12 electronic data interchange characters.

EDIFACT (5): it is used to encode 63 ASCII values (values from 32 to 94) plus an Unlatch character (binary 011111).

BASE256 (6): it is used to encode 8 bit values.
Data Matrix Format Mode 10x10 Specifies the Data Matrix Format to use on that symbology. Valid values see options in the list.
FNC1 Mode None To encode GS1 compatible Data Matrix barcode, you need set FNC1 Mode value to "Enable".
