User guide

23
• Always test the readability of bar codes under production conditions. Factors
to consider include:
• If you will print cards one at a time, make your samples that way. If you
will print cards in batches (many cards sent at the same time) use a
production-sized batch and test cards from the beginning, middle and end
of the batch.
• Use exactly the same cardstock for testing that you will use for
production.
• Include other card design components, such as topcoat, that you will use
in production.
• Use the same readers as users will have, and test each card multiple times
to simulate any wear the card might experience. Also test multiple cards.
