Version

The PosiCode symbology supports two variations called versions, PosiCode A and PosiCode B, as well as an older version of both PosiCode A and PosiCode B called Limited PosiCode.

Differences between the A and B variations

PosiCode A and PosiCode B encode the same character set, but PosiCode A uses fewer grid spaces per symbol character. PosiCode A is preferred for applications where the mark width approaches the resolution of the reader. PosiCode B is preferred for applications where the mark width must be larger than the G dimension (between 1G and 2G) due to limitations of the marking technology. PosiCode A is more tolerant than PosiCode B to mark placement inaccuracies for equivalent symbol density.
