- Barcode Definition
cab printers will print a rastered area if a barcode would not fit on the label. The printers intelligence
checks this for you to avoid later reading problems. This includes also the required white space for the
barcode readability. Check the barcode witdh, height and x / y positions to make sure that the barcode
is placed correct.
The following picture shows what happens when a barcode is misplaced.
A-series printers will print a raster instead of a barcode as demonstrated on the following label in the
lower right corner.
Most printers also allow the selection in the printer setup to switch to „barcode error on" to verify if the
incoming data is correct for the selected barcode. In case of an error the printer will show an error
message in its display.
