Specification Background Substrate The barcode symbol should be printed on material media that is reflective and has a matte not glossy finish A background diffuse reflectance of at least 70 to 80 is desirable for optimum contrast Retro reflective media should be used to obtain decode distances greater than 36 inches Ink Color and Type The inked bars should not exceed 25 reflectance at the wavelength that is being used for reading whether printed with black ink or colored ink The reflectance value should not vary more than 5 within the same character Voids and Specks The code should be printed clearly free of voids specks blemishes and lines that could fool the scanner Specks or blemishes in the white spaces or false or missing bar sections could be interpreted by the reading equipment as part of the code Generally the width of such flaws is more serious than the height Code symbols labels should be rejected if these defects are present Definition The bars in the barcode symbol should be well defined Their edges should not be rough or fuzzy so that the bars and spaces have the proper widths intended for the barcode symbology used 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
