DotCode is a two-dimensional (2-D) matrix symbology that is composed of dots that are arranged in a specified rectangular array. Released in 2009, DotCode was designed for use with high-speed industrial printers, where printing accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Because it does not require the use of continuous lines or precise spacing, it is often used in high-efficiency production environments.

IDAutomation DotCode products are compliant with the AIM specification Rev. 4.00 2019 and GS1 General Specifications v20 2020. To print DotCode as a font, the data must first be formatted with a font encoder, which will return a text string that, when combined with the IDAutomation 2D Font, will create an accurate DotCode symbol. The font encoders provided by IDAutomation include the unique ability to generate the symbol from the IDAutomation2D font or common system font such as Courier New.

Some of the unique characteristics of DotCode include a highly adjustable size ratio and a dot pattern which enables high-speed printing and scanning where other barcodes might be problematic.
