Notes on printing barcodes and 2-dimensional symbols
Set the quiet zone according to the bar code standards.
When printing PDF417 (2-dimensional symbols), it is recommended to set the height of one step of the sym-
bol to three to five times the width of one module, and the total height of code should be approximately 5
mm {0.20"} or more.
The recognition rate of ladder barcodes and 2-dimensional symbols may vary depending on widths of the
modules, print density, environmental temperature, type of roll paper (thermal paper), and characteristics of
the reader. Therefore, you must check the recognition rate before setting the use conditions so that the
restrictions of the reader are satisfied.
Reading quality of barcodes/2-dimensional symbols in multi-tone graphics printing is not guaranteed.
When printing ladder barcodes/2-dimensional symbols with graphics printing, set the print speed to speed
level 4 instead of using the barcodes/2-dimensional symbols print commands.
See
"Software Settings" on page 60
Note the following when printing barcodes on the face of a slip:
Ladder barcodes and 2-dimensional symbols are not supported.
Be sure to add HRI characters because the recognized rate of barcode reading may vary depending on den-
sity, gradation, or performance capabilities of barcode reader used.
