Description |
---|---|
Bar/Space margin of error |
Enter the largest percent of error that is acceptable in the bar code. NOTE: When the specified bar code density results in partial dots in bars or spaces, the dots are rounded to the nearest dot. Rounding introduces a certain amount of error. When the specified density is very high, the amount of error may cause a bar code to become unreadable. |
Minimum readable resolution |
Enter the minimum readable resolution in millimeters required by the bar code reader. NOTE: If a bar code is generated with a resolution below the specified value, A high resolution bar code error appears. |
Modify bar code data to fit symbology |
Check to produce bar codes without checking for data/symbology compatibility. Uncheck to receive an Invalid Data error message if data is not compatible with the selected symbology. |
Ignore MSI/Plessey length requirements |
Check to produce MSI/Plessey bar codes without checking for the recommended length. NOTE: The MSI/Plessey specification recommends that the bar code encode between three and 16 characters, including check digits. |
Display recommended bar code quiet zones |
Check to display a red rectangle at each end of the bar code to represent the quiet zone . Uncheck and the bar code quiet zone does not display. NOTE: A readable bar code must have blank space before and after the bar code. The amount of space required depends on the density of the bar code. The lower the density, the more space that is required. |
Print empty bar codes |
Check to print bar codes without data. Uncheck and bar codes without data will not print. These bar codes also won't generate an error. NOTE: This option is useful if you'd like to print bar codes on some labels and none on others. |
