• Readability of a barcode varies by paper type, performance of a barcode reader, or other factors.
Furthermore, drop in print quality due to clogging of print head nozzles or skew of ink drops can
cause a barcode to become unreadable. In case it happens, it is recommended to print HRI char-
acters or take other measures.
• Due to characteristic of ink, ink seeped into paper may cause the bars of a barcode to be printed
thicker. In such cases, carry out [Bar Width Adjustment] that reduces the bar width by 2 pixels,
and increases space width by 2 pixels.
• If vibrations or shocks are applied to the printer during transporting or installing the printer, it
may cause drop in barcode rank. In that happens, barcode rank may improve by carrying out [Bi-
directional Printing Adjustment]. ("Bi-directional Printing Adjustment" on page 130
