Key points to remember when working with a barcode graphic file:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Avoid using the OPEN command in ANY program. This will not retain the precision of the barcode file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do not resize the image after importing it into the application. Doing so can compromise the scannability of the printed barcode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Avoid judging the barcode quality by the on-screen preview. Many applications do not provide an accurate preview of a barcode graphic file. The quality of the image should be determined by the actual printed sample.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
