Aztec Code is a two-dimensional
matrix symbology containing dark and light square data modules. It has a finder
pattern of concentric square rings centered on a single dark module located in
the center of the symbol. A two-dimensional imaging device such as a CCD camera
is necessary to scan the symbology. Aztec Code can encode all 8-bit values
(0-127 ASCII and 128-255 ISO 8859-1, Latin Alphabet No.1) and performs Reed
Solomon Error Correction based on user-selectable percentages (5% to 95%).
Aztec Code is used for small item marking applications using a wide variety of
printing and marking technologies.
Note: Aztec Code implementation in Barcode Professional products does not
support encoding for FNC1, ECI nor Structured Appended Sequence. The only
optional feature in Aztec Code specification that Barcode Professional supports
is “Aztec Runes” which is a series of 256 small machine-readable marks
compatible with Aztec Code, available for special applications.
Note: Note: Please refer to the Class
Reference documentation for more information about the properties and methods

of measurement such as Millimeter, Centimeter, and Mils.
For modifying the unit of measurement for barcoding, please set up the BarcodeUnit
property as needed.
