Datastrip’s 2D symbology available online for public review
Pennsylvania-based Datastrip has announced that the Public Review Draft of the International Symbology Specification – Datastrip 2D - is online.
The specification was developed by AIM Global’s Technical Symbology Committee. Datastrip 2D is a variable-size, variable-density two-dimensional symbology. The bar code can encode text, binary and biometric data, and it includes Reed-Solomon error detection and erasure correction algorithms.
Datastrip 2D is designed to be printed on flat surfaces such as ID cards, driver’s licenses and passports that require machine-readable biometric data. The Public Review process ends March 20, 2008.
