Aztec Code

Aztec Code is a 2D symbol with a bulls-eye pattern at the center to locate the code. The orientation marks at the corners of the code allow the code to be read if rotated in any direction. With an Aztec Code reader, the amount of Reed-Solomon error correction is between 20% and 40% of the data in the code. Like other 2D Matrix symbologies, the size of the Aztec Code depends on the amount of data contained within the code.

Type	2D Matrix
Character Set	All ASCII characters and binary data, using several efficient modes of encoding and data compression.
Example of Application Standards	None yet.
Non-standardized applications	Bus, airplane and train tickets, car registration in Poland and billing in Canada
Key Features	Finder pattern is on the inside of the symbol, thus allowing aztec code reader error correction to result in a readable symbol even when the extremities of the symbol is damaged, not printed or torn off of a label, or when the whole symbol is not seen in the field of view of the reader
