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".
