standardsforthetypeofbarcodeyouareprinting.
BarCodePlacement
 Maintaintherequiredquietzonearoundtheactualbar
code,asshownintheillustration.
 Locatebarcodesatleast0.25inch(6.3mm)fromother
printingandfromtheedgeofthecard.
 Forbestresults,orientthecardsothatthebarsareparallel
tothelongedgesofthecard,asshown.Thisorientation
mostaccuratelyprintsreadablebarcodes.
BarCodeSize
 Alowerdensitybarcodeiseasiertoread,becausethebarsarewiderandspacedfarther
apart.
 Thewidthofthenarrowele mentsinthebarcodemustbelargeenoughtoberead
consistently. Thecapabilitiesofthebarcodereadercaninfluencethis.
 Thebarcodemustbetallenoughtobereadundernormalconditions.
