    The zero error correction level. Minimum redundancy. Uses 2 EC codewords. Suited for very controlled environments with excellent print/scan quality and short label life.

    Level1

    The first error correction level. Low redundancy. Uses 4 EC codewords. Suitable for controlled environments (good printers, short-life labels).

    Level2

    The second error correction level. Low redundancy. Uses 8 EC codewords. Suitable for controlled environments (good printers, short-life labels).

    Level3

    The third error correction level. Medium redundancy. Uses 16 EC codewords. Suitable for general industrial, warehousing, ticketing, and transport labels.

    Level4

    The fourth error correction level. Medium redundancy. Uses 32 EC codewords. Suitable for general industrial, warehousing, ticketing, and transport labels.

    Level5

    The fifth error correction level. Medium-high redundancy. Uses 64 EC codewords. Suitable for harsh conditions: rough handling, frequent scanning, lower‑quality printers, outdoor exposure, or labels that may get partially torn or stained.

    Level6

    The sixth error correction level. High redundancy. Uses 128 EC codewords. Suitable for very harsh conditions: extreme handling, very frequent scanning, low‑quality printers, outdoor exposure, or labels that may get significantly torn or stained.

    Level7

    The seventh error correction level. Very high redundancy. Uses 256 EC codewords. Used when labels may be severely damaged but still need to decode (e.g., long‑term asset tags in dirty or abrasive environments, or where reprinting is costly/impossible).

    Level8

    The eighth error correction level. Maximum redundancy. Uses 512 EC codewords. Used in extreme conditions where labels are likely to be heavily damaged, such as long-term outdoor exposure, extreme handling, or very low-quality printing.
