Why is the output resolution important when creating a digital image?
The accuracy of the widths and placement of bars within a digital barcode image are extremely important in ensuring that the barcode scans easily. Low resolution printing equipment can introduce dimensional errors that will prevent a barcode from scanning or, even worse, make it scan and output the wrong data particularly for the smaller size of barcodes. It is therefore very important to use a high resolution output device when imaging or printing barcodes and to select an appropriate size for the barcode to suit the output method and resolution.
