It is used according to the code length. By use of less than 41 code words the Error Correction level 2 is used. From 41 to 160 code words ECL3 is used. From 161 to 320 code words ECL4 is used. From 321 code words ECL5 is used.  Example: PDF417 code with ECL2  Example: PDF417 code with ECL3  Example: PDF417 code with ECL4  Example: PDF417 code with ECL5
