Applies to PDF417, MicroPDF, Datamatrix, Databar (expanded stacked) and Codablock barcodes only

For PDF417, MicroPDF, Databar and Codablock “Columns” refers to the number of datawords in a row – NOT the number of bars. Note that requirements of the symbology mean that not all values are possible. For example, PDF417 requires a minimu of 3 rows irrespective of the number of columns.

For Datamatrix symbols “Columns” refers to the number of square elements in a row. Only specific symbol sizes are permitted in Datamatrix. If an invalid number of columns is specified the next valid number will be used. Columns should be set to zero if you wish the symbol size to be determined by the security level setting.
