The Black Ice Data Matrix Barcode
SDK/ActiveX toolkit allows developers to add 2D Data Matrix writing
to their applications. Data
Matrix barcodes can store large amounts of data in a small symbol,
up to a maximum 3,116 Digits or 2,335 ASCII characters. Unlike
linear (1D) barcodes, which are typically used to store a record or
account number which then must be retrieved from a database in order
to get additional information, Data Matrix barcode symbols can
typically store all of the information associated with a particular
record. This way, using Data Matrix barcodes, developers can
eliminate database information retrieval, and can simply read all
account details from the Data Matrix barcode symbol itself.
Using the Structured
Append feature, developers can link up to 16 data matrices logically
to each other.
