Code One

Code One is a two-dimensional matrix symbology. It is only available when an Intermec printer is the selected model.

ClosedThe Character Set

Code One supports all 256 ASCII characters, 1 pad/message separator character, and 8-bit binary data.

ClosedThe Symbology Structure

There are ten different versions of Code One. Versions A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are used in most applications. Versions S and T are a different structure from the other versions. Version S was designed for high-speed printing on an eight-nozzle inkjet printer and version T was designed for a 16-nozzle inkjet. Each version has different sizes, patterns, and data capacities. Each Code One symbol consists of dark or light square data modules and fixed patterns that are used for recognition and reference. All versions are designed to accept different amounts of data as shown in the table below.

All Code One symbols contain Reed Solomon error correction characters. The amount of error correction characters is not user definable and depends on which version is used.

ClosedThe Dimensions

All ten of Code One's versions have different sizes based on the amount of data entered as listed in the table below. The sizes shown are in modules, which are equivalent to the X-dimension selected. Note that versions S and T are available in three different sizes each.
