The barcode samples shown on page 212 are for illustra-
tion purposes only. If printed out, they can be used to
check the barcode scanner. However, they are not meant
to be used as a reference for size or resolution of real
patient or operator ID barcodes. When creating patient or
operator barcodes always refer to the relevant standard
ISO/IEC 15416 and 15415 for size and resolution require-
ments and to the specification listed below. Successful
barcode scanning results from optimizing a number of
variables including barcode printer method and configu-
ration, the substrate material on which the barcode is
printed, and the resulting print quality.
Recommended Specification Remarks
Print resolution 300 dpi preferred
200 dpi minimum
At 200 dpi issues with the wide-to-
narrow ratio may exist.
Reflective contrast 70% or greater Matte finish is preferred over gloss
finish.
Symbol grade Grade C or above
Grade B is preferred
Symbol grades are A-F based on
analysis of several quality elements.
Depending on quality grade
parameters for a specific bar code,
grade C may not be sufficient
when motion, reflection, or poor
lighting occur.
Module width
(minimum)
0.16 mm (linear barcodes)
0.20 mm (2D barcodes)
Ensure that your printer can print the module width of
the barcode with the required resolution, i.e., that there
is no mismatch between print resolution and module
width.
