Specification Called Out
in Figure 4.1
Explanation
1 The first bar of the code (B) must be parallel to the label edge (A) within 0.002" .
2 All subsequent bar lines must be parallel to (B) within 0.001" .
3 The human-readable code (HRC) does not include the checksum; the dash in the HRC is not
encoded in the bar-code.
4 The trailing quiet zone must be 0.250" minimum.
5 The maximum label length is determined by the tube length. The scanner can accommodate
labels up to 2.35" . With HEMOGARD tubes, the maximum label length is 2.04"
.
6 The bar-code area contains the start character, data digits, checksum, and stop character.
7 The leading quiet zone must be 0.250" minimum.
8 The placement indicator shows you which end of the label goes next to the tube stopper. This
is an optional feature, not a mandatory one.
9 The width of the label must leave at least a 1/8" window for viewing the contents of the tube. The
maximum label width for a 10-mm diameter tube is 1.1". The minimum label width is 0.400".
