MemberDescription
ByteByte compaction algorithm permits all 256 possible 8-bit byte values to be encoded. This includes all ASCII characters value 0 to 127 inclusive and provides for international character set support. It has compaction ratio of six bytes to five codewords and used as default graphical and control character interpretation.
NumericNumeric Compaction mode permits efficient encoding of numeric data strings. It should be used to encode long strings of consecutive numeric digits. It encodes up to 2,93 numeric digits per codeword.
TextText Compaction mode encodes all ASCII chars (32-126) and HT(tab: 9), LF (line feed: 10) and CR (carriage return: 13) symbols. It compacts up to 2 chars per codeword.
UnspecifiedChoose internaly which of the three data compaction algorithm in PDF417 is the best compaction mode for the Data value and if necessary combines them.
