*1: In some cases, missing dots and irregularity in ink shots may occur when printing ladder barcodes,
resulting in the ANSI grade being lowered to F and making barcodes unreadable. Apply an
innovative method such as printing HRI characters.
*2: Ink may penetrate the paper due to its characteristics, causing the bars of printed barcodes to
become thicker. In such cases, reduce the data in a bar by one pixel and increase the blank space
by one pixel (Adjust Bar Width).
*3: The recommended values for specified media types and barcodes are as follows.
For wristbands and Code 128: Five-dot module and ANSI grade D
For wristbands and Codabar: Four-dot module, minimum element ratio of 2.5, and ANSI grade C
