We recommend you check the bar code print quality with a bar
code verifier. If you do not have a bar code verifier or scanner,

complete bars, clear spaces, and small alphanumeric characters
look complete. An in spec bar code may not look as good as one
that is too dark, but it has the highest scan rate.
