• Module: Sets the thin element width in dots. - : Not supported *1: In some cases, dot missing and irregularity in ink shots may occur when printing ladder barcodes (when the barcodes from the start to stop are printed in a vertical direction), lowering the ANSI grade to F and making barcodes unrecognizable. Therefore, fence barcodes (when the barcodes from the start to stop are printed in a horizontal direction) are recommended to use. To use ladder barcodes, make consideration such as printing HRI characters. * 2: Ink may penetrate the paper due to its characteristics, and bars of printed barcodes tend to become thicker. This tendency is more prominent with some papers.
To maintain the barcode recognition rate, use methods such as reducing the data in a bar by 1 pixel and increasing the blank space by 1 pixel (Bar width adjustment). However, do not apply this method to two-dimensional symbols. * 3: By the combination of the specific paper type and the Symbol, the following conditions are available. Wristband & CODE128 : Element = 5 dots (D-grade) Wristband & Codabar : Element = 5 dots, Element ratio = 2.5 (C-grade) • Bar Height: Sets the element height with dots. Specified dots indicate the actual print size. • Adjust Bar Width: Narrows the element width when printing. Make sure to select it only when the barcode is not clear enough to be read.
