What is GS1 Data Matrix Code
GS1 Data Matrix is a QR code symbol standardized by GS1, mainly used for product identification and circulation management. It is based on the ECC200 standard and differs from traditional Data Matrix codes
Definition and purpose of GS1 Data Matrix
GS1 Data Matrix is a matrix style QR code primarily used for product identification and circulation management. It can record a large amount of information on a very small area, making it particularly suitable for anti-counterfeiting and labeling management of goods
The standardization of GS1 Data Matrix ensures its compatibility and consistency worldwide, facilitating rapid identification and tracking of product information
Structure and Characteristics of GS1 Data Matrix
The GS1 Data Matrix consists of two independent parts: the Finder pattern and the encoded data itself. Finder patterns are used to locate the direction and structure of symbols, ensuring that scanners can accurately recognize and read symbols
5. The data is encoded in a matrix in the searcher mode and converted into characters using binary format
5. In addition, the GS1 Data Matrix always has an even number of rows and columns, with a light colored square in the upper right corner, which is one of its unique design features

The difference between GS1 Data Matrix and traditional Data Matrix
The main difference between GS1 Data Matrix and traditional Data Matrix codes lies in their standardization and error correction functions. GS1 Data Matrix is based on the ECC200 standard and has stronger error correction capabilities. It can recover data when some code is damaged, ensuring the integrity of information

3. Traditional Data Matrix codes include versions such as ECC000, ECC050, ECC080, ECC100, and ECC140, but these versions are less commonly used due to their weaker error correction capabilities
The application of GS-1 DataMatrix in inkjet printers
The application of GS-1 DataMatrix in inkjet printers is mainly reflected in its ability to generate DataMatrix QR codes that comply with the GS-1 standard, which are commonly used for product identification and tracking. The GS-1 DataMatrix QR code contains dynamic information such as product serial number, unit price, and internal company information, which can be generated and printed on products in batches using a coding machine.
Characteristics and Applications of GS-1 DataMatrix QR Code
GS-1 DataMatrix QR code is a type of QR code that features high density, high reliability, and variable data. It is widely used in fields such as product identification, logistics management, and inventory management. By using a barcode printer to print the GS-1 DataMatrix QR code, unique identification and tracking of products can be achieved, improving production efficiency and product quality management.
How to generate GS-1 DataMatrix QR code with inkjet printer
Software settings: Firstly, it is necessary to set the paper size and layout in the software that comes with the inkjet printer to ensure that the size of the label paper is consistent with the actual usage.
Data import: Import TXT text containing GS-1 DataMatrix QR code data into the software, select "Tab separator" as the separator symbol, and avoid using "comma separator" to avoid incorrect data segmentation.
QR code generation: Draw a QR code in the software, set the barcode type to "DataMatrix", format to "UccEanGs1", and check the "escape" option.
Data processing: If there are special symbols (such as {GS}) in TXT text, they need to be replaced in the software by replacing them with a format that the software can recognize.
Preview and Print: After completing the settings, the generated QR code can be viewed through the software preview function. Once confirmed to be correct, the printer can be connected for printing
