Small-code scanning requires:
- Accurate printing
- Strong contrast
- Clear quiet zones
- Correct code dimensions
- A clean scanner window
- Suitable working distance
- Stable aiming
- Minimal label damage
Businesses scanning jewellery tags, electronics components, laboratory labels or tiny pharmaceutical codes should test their actual barcode before ordering several scanners.
What does the print-contrast specification mean?
Print contrast describes the visual difference between the dark barcode elements and the lighter background.
Honeywell’s Rev I datasheet lists a minimum reflectance difference of 15%, while its current product webpage lists 20%. This likely reflects different document revisions or test conditions, but Honeywell does not explain the difference on those pages.
A barcode may be difficult to read when:
- Dark bars are faded
- The background is too dark
- Printing has spread
- The label is dirty
- The code is printed over a pattern
- Glossy packaging produces glare
- Thermal material has faded
- Transparent material covers the code
For dependable daily scanning, use clear high-contrast labels rather than designing around the minimum published threshold.
Does the Xenon XP 1950g support Digimarc?
