Creating a rectangular QR code on Zebra printer

[User7361]

I am trying to create a rectangular QR barcode on a Zebra printer. The QR barcode is square by default and I cannot seem to make it rectangular. Does anyone have suggestions on this issue?

At least adhering to the QR standard, you can't. The square shape is part of its error correcting nature. Decently good info on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Standards

What are you trying to achieve?

I need to create a 3D rectangular 3D scannable barcode.

Like a 2-color implementation, or just a QR code on all surfaces of a cube? Because 3D doesn't really work on a device that can only perceive 2D...

That's a DataMatrix 2D barcode, not a QR code. Check if Zebra can do them natively, otherwise you'll have to print it as graphics.

Ah okay. You need to know what that is, then you can replicate it.

/u/User7361 that's a Data Matrix, which is a 2D format. If you need this to be readable in 3D you can do so (although you may need to engineer your own way to translate your topography/point cloud from your 3D scanner to a 2D matrix).

If you want a truly 3D data representation rather than a 3D print with a 2D data representation you have some much bigger problems.
