eMaximum number of digits

The maximum number of digits varies according to the ECC type or format ID.

Since each Kanji character uses 2 bytes, the maximum number of digits for it becomes half of the following values.

	ECC0		ECC50	ECC80	ECC100	ECC140
Format ID 1	500		457	402	300	144
Format ID 2	452		333	293	218	105
Format ID 3	394		291	256	190	91
Format ID 4	413		305	268	200	96
Format ID 5	310		228	201	150	72
Format ID 6	271		200	176	131	63
		Numeric		Alphanumeric		8 bit
ECC200		2000		2000		1556

fConnection setting

The connection setting is used to comprise data with a set of two-dimensional codes when the data cannot be expressed with a two-dimensional code. When three two- dimensional codes are used to comprise data, identification information of 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3 is inserted into each two-dimensional code. The ID number is programmed to include a proper combination of two-dimensional codes when one label contains plural connecting symbols. For example, when there are two kinds of data containing identification information for 1/2 and 2/2 in the same label, combination of two-dimensional codes is unclear. By adding the ID number, the combination is made clearer.
