MicroPDF417).
7.12.1.1 Rows [3..90]
Specifies the number of rows of one PDF417 symbol. Values between 3 and 90 are allowed.
Default: the number of lines (rows) is calculated automatically depending on the amount of input
data.
7.12.1.2 Row height [1/1000 mm]
Sets the height of an individual row in 1/1000 mm.
Default: the row height is calculated automatically depending on the bounding rectangle and the
number of rows.
Some label specifications require a specific ratio between module width and row height.
Example: If a ratio of 1:3 is required you might set the module width to 254 and the row height to
762.
