Print quality for bar-
codes is poor
The width of the bars
has not been cor-
rected.
The width of the bars has to be cor-
rected to print barcodes correctly.
Use the barcode and 2D symbol
fonts that are installed with the
printer driver, or a barcode genera-
tor application to correct the width
of bars.
To be more precise, decrease one
pixel from the bars and increase one
pixel for the space between bars.
For more information on the barcode
generator application you are using,
see the manual supplied with the
application.
The width of the bars is not corrected
for the 2D symbols.
