Size setting overview
This page is on size setting of Data Matrix, emphasizing 2 important factors: barcode width and height.

Barcode structure
The components of Data Matrix barcode are Timing pattern, Data, Finder pattern, Alignment pattern and Quiet zone.

Data Matrix Size Setting

Barcode Width:
The W (measured in pixel), including quiet zones, can be calculated from the following expression:

Data Matrix

W = M1X + 2 Q

X : the width of a module bar; Xmin=1 pixel
Q : the width of the quiet zone; Qmin=X
M1 stands for the larger number in the Format Mode (Symbol Size), eg1.If 12x12, M1=12; eg2. If 8x32, M1=32.

Barcode Height:
The Data Matrix barcode Height, H (measured in pixel) can be calculated from the following expression:

Data Matrix

H =W= M2X + 2
(M2 Stands for the smaller number in the Format Mode (Symbol Size), eg1.If 12x12, M2=12; eg2. If 8x32, M2=8.)
