CodeZ QR™ and CodeZ Matrix™ Specifications

How does CodeZ work?CodeZ QR™ and CodeZ Matrix™ are integrated data encoding solutions, enabling you to encode vast amounts of data in an extremely small area.

How does it work? During document production, if your application software provider is an authorized CodeZ Partner, your application program will automatically call the CodeZ Matrix™ or CodeZ QR™ bar coding logic, which then creates a bar code to the exacting standards required by high-speed print and scan operations. If your application software provider is not currently an authorized Partner, COPI will install a simple routine to allow you to seamlessly implement the CodeZ coding logic. This generated 2D symbol is then placed on the document as part of the print stream using the provided COPI fonts.
