DataMatrix encoder’s encoding mode, default to Auto

Member name	Description
AUTO	In Auto mode, the CodeText is encoded with maximum data compactness. Unicode characters are re-encoded in the ECIEncoding specified encoding with the insertion of an ECI identifier. If a character is found that is not supported by the selected ECI encoding, an exception is thrown.
ASCII	Encodes one alphanumeric or two numeric characters per byte
BYTES	Encode 8 bit values
C40	Uses C40 encoding. Encodes Upper-case alphanumeric, Lower case and special characters
TEXT	Uses Text encoding. Encodes Lower-case alphanumeric, Upper case and special characters

EXTENDED_CODETEXT
EXTENDED
BASE256	Encode 8 bit values
BINARY	In Binary mode, the CodeText is encoded with maximum data compactness. If a Unicode character is found, an exception is thrown.
ECI	In ECI mode, the entire message is re-encoded in the ECIEncoding specified encoding with the insertion of an ECI identifier. If a character is found that is not supported by the selected ECI encoding, an exception is thrown. Please note that some old (pre 2006) scanners may not support this mode.
