Bar Code Density

Format Entry Prompt:

Barcode density [1-5]:_

Values:

1-5 (Code 39)
1-4 (Interleaved 2 of 5)
1-3 (Code 128)
1-3 (MSI)

This prompt applies only to Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code
128 and MSI. The density is pre-set for UPC-A, UPC-E,
EAN-8, EAN-13 and NW7 bar codes.

Because there are more dots per horizontal inch on the
printhead of the 9465 printer, parallel bar codes have a higher
density than serial bar codes. The sample tags below show
the difference between parallel and serial bar codes.

The following tables show the densities for parallel and serial
bar codes.
