In contrast to the other 2D codes supported, the individual modules of the PDF417 are not specified as square, but rather in general as bars. The dimensions of the bars are not strictly defined by means of specifications, but rather can be defined by the user. For further details on this, please refer to the following description of the parameters. A symbol comprises rows and columns, the number of which can also be determined by the user. In the case of PDF417, the term 'columns' refers to a total of 17 modules, each of which is divided into three rows and three empty spaces. Up to 90 rows and 30 columns can be selected. As a result, the range of options in selecting symbol dimensions is considerably broader than with the other matrix codes described. Identical line patterns are always located on the left and on the right in the symbol, and these identify it as a PDF417 as such. It is also possible to print without them, however. Please refer also to the detailed information under the parameters described below. 57
