GS1 DotCode

GS1 DotCode

GS1 DotCode is an implementation of the DotCode barcode symbology with GS1 formatted data.

Standards: AIM - ISS DotCode, GS1 General Specifications.

Data and Options

• The data field input is provided in GS1 Application Identifier standard format.
• Note that it is not necessary to specify FNC1 characters since the encoder will insert these automatically where necessary.
• Deprecated. The dontlint option disables GS1 Application Identifier syntax validation allowing images to be generated for input that does not comply with GS1 standards.
• The ratio is used to specify the aspect ratio of the symbol. The default is 1.5.
• The columns and rows options are used to specify the size of the symbol. When these are not specified a symbol is generated that maintains the selected aspect ratio.
• Deprecated: Use only if performance is a concern. The fast option is used to enable the optional high-speed symbol masking algorithm.
