Chapter 1 Unpacking The Printer
Bar Code Verification
The most important consideration when printing a bar code is to ensure the bar code will be scanned properly. Incorporating a bar code quality procedure in the printing process is the best way to ensure that bar codes are being printed correctly. A properly implemented verification procedure will increase overall bar code quality, reduce waste from misprinted bar codes, and achieve high first time read rates, which is an increasingly important factor in newer, more efficient systems, where manually entered data is not acceptable as a back up function. Verification also minimizes the costs of returned products due to poor reading or unaccountable bar codes.
