Introduced in 1995
AIM standard released in 1996

Quiet zone required around perimeter
The border is composed of 2 slides forming an “L” pattern and 2 sides
alternating light and dark elements
The border is known as the finder pattern and used for determining
size, orientation, and symbol distortion
Symbol sizes range from 10x10 to 144x144
Maximum size capacity: 2,335 alphanumeric, 3116 numerical, or 1556
bytes

Symbol structure

•

Element (module)
• Square shaped cell that encodes
one bit of binary data
•
•
•

•

•

= Binary “0”
= Binary “1”
Consistent size throughout code

Dependent on finder pattern
color

Quiet zone
• AIM specification calls for a
minimum of one element width
(1x) on each side of the symbol

Symbol structure continued

•

Structure Finder Pattern
• The outermost rows and columns
• Composed of two solid lines and two
alternating dark/light lines
• Used to define physical size,
orientation, distortion and the
number of rows and columns

•

Data Region
• The area inside the finder pattern
• Contains data and error correction
code words
