2- Bar Code Readability
The special consideration discussed in this section may pertain to all the bar codes or, in
some cases, to a specific bar code generated by the BarDIMM product.
When Printing With a New Ink Cartridge
On some laser or inkjet printers, a slight degradation of image quality may occur
immediately after replacing the ink cartridge; To assure that the bar code images are
printed with sufficient quality for later reading with electronic devices, follow theses
instructions;
1.
Be certain that the storage and care instruction that are supported with the ink cartridge
were followed before installing the new ink cartridge in your printer.
2.
Be sure to change the ink cartridge when necessary. Carefully follow the installation
instructions (especially those relating to proper agitation of the cartridge) before you
install the ink cartridge.
Print Density Settings
When printing bar codes, it is recommended that you start at the mid-range of the printer
density dial or front panel value (3). Run several bar code samples and check them for
readability. Then, if necessary, adjust the printer’s density setting accordingly.
The color and type of paper that you are using can also affect the readability of printed bar
codes. You should closely monitor this type of printing.
The fonts and bar code algorithms available in the BarDIMM product have been found to
be highly readable.
HOWEVER:
JETMOBILE DOES NOT WARRANT AND HAS NOT TESTED THAT THE BAR
CODES, OCR-A AND OCR-B CONTAINED OR GENERATED BY BARDIMM
ARE READABLE BY ALL READING DEVICES.
JETMOBILE RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TEST THE READ/WRITE
COMPATIBILITY OF THESE BARCODES AND FONTS BEFORE
IMPLEMENTING APPLICATIONS.
