Error correction level to using in a 2D barcode, ignored if not supported by the barcode type
Read-write property
Visual Basic |
---|
Public Property MakeBarcodeErrorCorrectionLevel As Long |
A long value which represents the error correction level.
The default value is -1.
For PDF417 barcodes:
The value range is 0 - 8 and -1.
A value of -1 will cause the component to choose the error correction level based on the size of the PDF417 symbol.
The 9 levels of error correction supported will take up the following amount of space:
0 - 2 code words 1 - 4 code words 2 - 8 code words 3 - 16 code words 4 - 32 code words 5 - 64 code words 6 - 128 code words 7 - 256 code words 8 - 512 code words
For DataMatrix barcodes:
Uses a fixed error correction level.
Auto error correction
-
Uses error correction levels 2 through 8, which are the recommended according to the PDF417 specification.
-
The error correction level should be set manually to either level 0 or level 1 for symbols where the MakeBarcodeRows * MakeBarcodeColumns are less than 10. This is due to the fact that the error correction level 2 requires 8 code words.
Note: This property value is ignored if not supported by the barcode type.
