Maximum data capacity
The maximum amount of data that can be stored in a 2D code varies with the symbol size.
In other words, if there is a large amount of data to be stored, then the symbol size must also be
large.
The maximum data capacity will also vary with the type of characters used. With a QR Code or
DataMatrix, the numeric capacity (numbers only) is larger than the alpha numeric capacity (numbers
and letters), which is in turn larger than the Japanese Kanji capacity.
The order and combinations of different characters also affects the data capacity.
