Quiet Space
NOTE: All barcodes, including Data Matrix and QR codes, must include some quiet space.
The 8900 automatically includes this for some barcode types.
This option is enabled for all barcode types, other than Pharmacode. The printer inserts a
blank area at each end of the barcode. The blank areas improve the accuracy of the scanning
process. Data Matrix and QR codes do not use this option.
Bar Width
This option allows you to make small adjustments to the width of the bars that make up a
barcode to improve the readability. The minimum width is 0.353 mm (1 pixel) and the
maximum width is 1.059 mm (3 pixels).
The default bar width is 0.706 mm (2 pixels).
Aspect Ratio
When you select the Code 39 or ITF 2of5 barcode formats, the Aspect Ratio option becomes
available.
This option defines the ratio between widths of the narrow and wide lines of the barcode.
The following options are available:
•
2:1
•
2.25:1
•
2.5:1
•
2.75: 1
•
3: 1
The default option is 2:1.
NOTE: When the narrow bar width is small, rounding errors can occur in the printed
width ratios, because the width of the bars must increase in single pixel increments.
Size
When you create a Data Matrix field, you can use this option to set the number of rows and
columns in the field. See 'Data Matrix' on page 123 for more information.
Module Size
This option allows you to set the size of the modules in a Data Matrix or QR code. See 'Data
Matrix' on page 123 for more information.
Version
When you create a QR code, you can use this option to set the version for the code. This is
the equivalent of the Size option for a Data Matrix field. See 'QR code' on page 126 for more
information.
Error Correction
This option allows you to set the error correction level for a QR code. See 'QR code' on
page 126 for more information.
