GS1 QR Code

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

Standards: ISO/IEC 18004, ITS - QR Code, 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 eclevel option is used to specify the error correction level:
    • eclevel=L - Low
    • eclevel=M - Medium (default)
    • eclevel=Q - Quality
    • eclevel=H - High
  • The fixedeclevel option will prevent the error correction level from being opportunistically raised when a better fix to the current matrix is possible.
  • The version option is used to specify the size of the symbol, 1 to 40.
  • If the version is unspecified the encoder will default to creating a symbol that is the minimum size to represent the given data at the selected error correction level.
