Data Layers

The encoded data of an Aztec Code barcode is contained in data layers that spiral clockwise from the upper left corner of the core symbol outward, and in full-range symbols necessarily skipping over module positions occupied by the reference grid. Compact Aztec Code barcodes can have from 1 to 4 data layers, while full-range Aztec Code barcodes range from 1 to 32 data layers.

The Data Layers option allows you to manually set the number of data layers for the barcode.
