General Requirements for Printing Codes
If you print documents for reading:
• Make sure the ribbon or toner quality is sufficient.
• Print the code in black on white background.
• Codes on the same sheet must have equal intensity.
• Print the code at the same position on every sheet.
• Be aware of "background noise". The reading function can be disturbed by: color
changes on the form, background design and a logo or copy on the opposite side of
the sheet that will bleed through.
• For matrix printers near letter quality (NLQ) printed characters are preferred to obtain
maximum blackness (double strike).
For more information on how to print a reading code on your
document, contact your service organization.
