Before ordering:Data Matrix is a popular 2D barcode symbology that is capable of encoding much larger quantities of data than standard linear barcodes. The symbology evaluation reveals that in many cases, Data Matrix is more efficient and compact than other 2D symbologies such as PDF417 and QR-Code. The data encoded in a Data Matrix barcode may include text letters, numbers and actual bytes of data such as extended characters, Unicode characters and even small images. IDAutomation recommends restricting the data encoded into each symbol due to the fact that many 2D barcode scanners have difficulty reading barcodes that contain more than approximately 800 characters of data.

To print Data Matrix as a font, the data-to-encode must first be formatted with a Data Matrix font encoder, which will return a text string that, when combined with the Data Matrix 2D Font, will create an accurate Data Matrix symbol. For example, sending the text of "IDAUTOMATION DataMatrix Font and Encoder" through the encoder returns the string of characters as depicted below on the left. An accurate Data Matrix barcode is generated with the appropriate font is applied to that text string.

Multiple encoders provide more options for integrating Data Matrix barcoding into application. Using an encoder is necessary because of the complexity of the 2D Data Matrix symbology. IDAutomation provides both font and graphic encoders in the package.
The accompanying chart summarizes how font and graphic encoders work to generate accurate Data Matrix barcodes.
| Font Encoder | ||
| Data Sent To Encoder | Text String Returned | Text String with Font Applied |
| Created with the IDAutomation DataMatrix Barcode Font and Encoder | A text string is retrieved from the encoder |
 |
| Graphic Encoder | ||
| Data Sent To Encoder | Image Returned | Image Displayed |
| Created with the IDAutomation DataMatrix Barcode Font and Encoder | The image is retrieved from the encoder and prepared for display or printing |

Thank You Sales Staff!
I need only the Data Matrix Font in Crystal Reports 10. It works perfectly. by Andreas on 10/21/2016
Very Simple!
We are using these Data Matrix fonts for our drawings. We create our part number in Data Matrix that we insert in our drawings. It was very easy to install and use. We did have an issue when we purchased the software, and we had very good support.
Easy to Use
We are using the product of one customer who required the MAT label. We use Crystal Reports to create our labels. Installation was very easy, and I used your YouTube channel to get installation help.
2D Data Matrix for Labels - Very Easy
Staff was extremely helpful. They answered very quickly and was correct.
Works Perfect
I use it at clients to create QR Codes with Crystal Reports from ERP systems.
