*Module

To define the dot size:

1.Recommended to specify the vertical to horizontal dot ratio of 1:3 for better readability by the scanner.

2.It is possible to define vertical dot (01, 02, 03), horizontal dot (01, 02, 03) but there might be difficulties decoding fields.

3.Use the larger module for better printing quality.

Error Correction

To define the corrective level when bar code is damaged or tampered.

1.Higher corrective level provides better correction and reading.

2.Higher corrective level will increase barcode size.
