Chapter —Bar Codes
MicroPDF is a multi-row symbology based on PDF417. A limited set of
symbol sizes is available where each size has a fixed level of error correction.
CC-A
CC-A is a variant of MicroPDF417, and the smallest of the 2D Composite
Components. CC-A can encode up to 56 digits and has 3 to12 rows and 2
to 4 columns. CC-A is a variant of MicroPDF417 with a unique combination
of row address patterns.
CC-B
CC-B is a variant of MicroPDF417 symbol uniquely identified by the
codeword 920 as the first codeword in the symbol. Encoding systems
select CC-B when the data to be encoded exceeds the capacity for CC-A.
CC-B can encode up to 338 digits and has from 10 to 44 rows and 2 to 4
columns.
CC-C
CC-C bar code is the same as a PDF417 except for:
• Reserved code word: CC-C has codeword 920 in the second symbol
character position (immediately following the Symbol Length Descriptor.)
• High-level data encodation: After the first data codeword 920 the
second data codeword is a latch to Byte Compaction mode.
• Structure Append: Is not used in CC-C
• Reader initialization: Codeword 921 do not appear in CC-C.
• Quiet zones: No quiet zones are required above and under the bar code.
• Reference decode algorithm: An incorrect composite 2D bar code.
• Error correction: CC-C meets or exceeds the minimum error correction
level recommended for PDF417.
• Symbology identifiers: Special for CC-C
• Composite Component escape mechanism: After the first Byte mode
codeword 901 or 924 in the 2D Composite Component, if another
codeword greater than 899 occurs, the composite “symbol” is logical
terminated at that point. The remaining codewords are encoded and
decoded according to specials rules.
A CC-C is only a part of an EAN.UCC Composite symbol with an UCC/
EAN-128. The number of columns in the bar codes are possible to set (up
to 30 columns). The number of rows are as many as necessary to represent
the 2D data with the chosen number of columns.
Example
This example corresponds to the illustration at the start of this chapter.
