individual module. The minimum size of a module is 1 dot, while the maximum
permitted is 1000 dots at 600 dpi. The best read results are generally achieved at a
symbol size of around 8 to 15 dots at 600 dpi. When making your selection, elements
such as paper quality and colour, reading distance, scanning technique and light
conditions are to be taken into account.
When programming, you should pay attention to the required quiet zone. This is the
small white area that has to be left blank above, below and to the right and left of the
symbol. According to the standard, the area equivalent to a module is required, but in
practice a larger quiet zone is to be recommended.
Note
In specialist barcode language, "module" refers to the smallest square
element of a symbol. "Symbol" refers to the combined modules in their
entirety, mainly as squares or rectangles.
