The Code One symbology organizes its symbol versions with the smallest size at the top of the list (A), and the largest size (T48) at the bottom. The three size selections that begin with the letter "S" (S10, S20, and S30) can only be used with numeric data.
The QR Code symbology supports 40 different sizes that you can set with the Symbol Version option. The smallest, version 1, measures 21 x 21 modules. Each subsequent version increases in size in steps of 4 modules per side. Version 40 is the largest, measuring 177 x 177 modules.
The Han Xin Code symbology supports 84 different sizes that you can set with the Symbol Version option. The smallest, version 1, measures 23 x 23 modules. Each subsequent version increases in size in steps of 2 modules per side. Version 84 is the largest, measuring 189 x 189 modules.
The iQR Code symbology supports 61 sizes of square-shaped symbols, and 15 sizes of rectangle-shaped symbols.
