A–6
Technical Specifications
Contrast
Background reflectance (that of the substrate on which the codes are
printed) should always provide a good contrast relative to the ink
reflectance (that of the code bars). The difference between the two should
be at least 37.5% at the wavelength used for reading.
Tolerance
The ratio of the widths of bars and spaces in a bar code symbol must
conform to the appropriate AIM bar code specifications and can cause
problems if not correct throughout the bar code. Problems can occur when
bar edges are smeared or rough, or when they exhibit voids.
