p-parameter, Error correction level

Page 58 highlights

The level (degree) of error correction can also be selected by the user. Nine levels are available (0-8), whereby level 0 means 'no error correction desired'. Depending on the application and on the quality of the paper used, however, a higher level should be used. All 256 ASCII characters can be coded as useful data. Example of a PDF417 symbol with 18 rows and 5 columns: Syntax in PCL The T-parameter must always be entered; the remaining three parameters, on the other hand, are optional. You can enter the parameters in the escape sequence in any order. If the Barcode Flash solution encounters impermissible values in one of the parameters, i.e. values that lie outside the ranges listed below, an error message is printed in lieu of the PDF417 symbol. T-parameter: Identifier for PDF417 24850T p-parameter: Error correction level Permissible values: 0-8 These nine levels are predefined by the PDF417 specification. Note that this is a fixed number of error correction words, as follows: 58
