QR Code is a kind of 2-D
(two-dimensional) symbology developed by Denso Wave (a division of Denso
Corporation at the time) and released in 1994 with the primary aim of being a
symbol that is easily interpreted by scanner equipment. Micro QR Code is a very
small QR Code barcode that fits applications that require a smaller space and
use smaller amounts of data, such as ID of printed circuit boards and
electronics parts, etc.
Micro QR Code is capable of handling all types of data, such as numeric and
alphabetic characters, Kanji, Kana, Hiragana, symbols, binary, and control
codes.
The symbol versions of Micro QR Code range from Version 1 to Version 4. Each
version has a different module configuration or number of modules (the module
refers to the black and white dots that make up Micro QR Code). "Module
configuration" refers to the number of modules contained in a symbol,
commencing with Version 1 (11 x 11 modules) up to Version 4 (17 x 17 modules).
Each higher version number comprises 2 additional modules per side. Each Micro
QR Code symbol version has the maximum data capacity according to the amount of
data, character type and error correction level.
Micro QR Code is not capable of storing much data (maximum 35 numeric
characters). However, because it can store data for each symbol size more
efficiently than QR Code, the size of Micro QR Code symbols does not
significantly increase, even though the amount of data is increased.

All values for barcode dimensions are expressed
in INCHES by default. However, Barcode Professional supports other unit
of measurement such as Millimeter, Centimeter, and Mils.
For modifying the unit of measurement for barcoding, please set up the BarcodeUnit
property as needed.
