2023 Data Matrix Algorithm Updates

  • Tagged With:-
    • Uec

IDAutomation has identified minor algorithm issues with some Data Matrix products that will be updated in 2023. This update includes fixes to the following issues:

1.
Certain data and symbol sizes can cause a small module error, however, the barcode will still scan correctly. This could cause the UEC (Unused Error Correction) to be slightly less than 100%. Symbols that contain the error will still generate ANSI grade A symbols.

2.
When using the auto-encoding mode, some combinations of the "_" and "^" characters and some Chinese characters may not encode properly. Changing the encoding mode to Base 256 resolves this issue.

3.
The ~m option may incorrectly calculate a MOD10 check digit with long strings of GS1 data.

Individual forum posts will be created in the release log as each product is updated. To obtain the update, navigate to the product page and order Level 2 Priority Support.

To determine if the UEC issue exists in your product, perform the following:

Set the encoding mode to Auto or ASCII, enable ProcessTilde, and encode the following data:
~10204059187999993240900987654321~1111902131723020037144~11019B13A~1989876540~199190987654~171012345678

Examine the symbol. If the issue exists in your product, cells 31,31 will be black. If cell 31,31 is white the issue does not exist.
