New GS1 2D Matrix Symbology Support

Overview Nowadays, the amount of data that companies desire to track is increasing exponentially making it necessary to deploy new standards. More compact barcodes are especially needed for the pharmaceutical and perishable goods industries. However, retailers are finding applications for 2D symbologies for coupons, printed manifests and invoices. Paxar's Monarch 9800 series printers support several 2D symbologies like PDF417 and Maxicode. However, in order to stay up with the launch of these new GS1 initiatives, the Tabletop Engineering group is working on the release of three new 2D symbologies: Aztec, Composite Bar Codes and DataBar. This paper provides a brief overview of these symbologies.
