Rows

Some two dimensional (2D) symbologies are organized into multiple rows of information, with each row looking like a very thin barcode. For example, the following image is a Code 49 symbol with 3 rows.

The Rows option enables you to set the number of rows you want for your symbol. When Auto is selected, the number of rows and columns in the data area is adjusted so that the symbol's overall shape is as close to a square as possible.
