GS1 QR Code

Terry Burton edited this page Mar 28, 2014 · 20 revisions

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 starting with the mandatory (01) and (8200) Application Identifiers.
  • 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 eclevel will be opportunistically raised beyond the specified level when this does not result in an increased symbol size.
  • 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.
