The special issue discussed in this section may pertain to all the bar codes or, in some cases, to a specific bar code generated by the BarDIMM Pro and BarDIMM Box products.
When Printing with a new Ink Cartridge
On some laser or inkjet printers, a slight degradation of image quality may occur immediately after replacing the ink cartridge. To assure that the bar code images are printed with sufficient quality for later reading with electronic devices, follow these instructions:
• Ensure that the storage and care instruction that are supported with the ink cartridge were followed before installing the new ink cartridge in your printer.
• Be sure to change the ink cartridge when necessary. Carefully follow the installation instructions (especially those relating to proper agitation of the cartridge) before you install the ink cartridge.
Print density settings
When printing bar codes, it is recommended that you start at the mid-range of the printer density dial or front panel value (3). Run several bar code samples and check them for readability. Then, if necessary, adjust the printer’s density setting accordingly.
The color and type of paper that you are using can also affect the readability of printed bar codes. You should closely monitor this type of printing.
The fonts and bar code algorithms available in the BarDIMM product have been found to be highly readable.
HOWEVER:
JETMOBILE DOES NOT WARRANT AND HAS NOT TESTED THAT THE BAR CODES, OCR-A AND OCR-B CONTAINED OR GENERATED BY BARDIMM PRO and BARDIMM BOX ARE READABLE BY ALL READING DEVICES.
JETMOBILE RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TEST THE READ/WRITE COMPATIBILITY OF THESE BARCODES AND FONTS BEFORE IMPLEMENTING APPLICATIONS.
