If you want to create graphic data for barcodes/two-dimensional symbols, create data which
meet the following conditions.
Use black as the print color of the barcode on blank paper (not pre-printed).
When creating barcode/2-dimensional symbol data as the graphic data, use the input
resolution in the table below. At other resolutions, the barcode reader may return errors.
Because of the characteristics of the ink, it may penetrate the paper, and bars of printed
barcodes may become thicker. This depends on the paper. Users can maintain the barcode recognition rate by methods such as ± 1 correction, reducing the data in a bar by
one pixel and increasing the blank space by one pixel. Be sure not to use this method for
the two-dimensional symbols.
