密度

条形码的“密度”是指每英寸可编码的字符数。 One factor that controls the density of a barcode is its symbology. 不同的符号体系要求不同的条和间隔数来表示同一信息。 The density of a barcode is also affected by the width of the narrow and wide bars and spaces. 条和间隔越窄,打印条形码所需的空间越小,而用每英寸字符数表示的条形码密度就越高。

ClosedTo change the density of a barcode by using the mouse

  1. 单击要修改的条形码。

  2. Position the pointer over any one of the barcode's left or right side handles, click and hold the primary mouse button, and then drag the selected handle until the barcode is displayed at the desired density.

  3. 松开鼠标键。

ClosedTo change the density of a barcode by using the Symbology and Size property page

  1. Open the Barcode Properties dialog by double-clicking the barcode that you want to modify. 或者,从对象的上下文菜单中选择“属性”。

  2. 在“导航窗格”中,选中“符号体系和大小”(如果尚未选中)。

  3. Next to the Density option, click the up or down arrows until the density value that you want is displayed in the edit box.

  4. Click Close.

As the character density of a barcode increases, the space that is required to print it decreases, which enables the barcode message to be smaller. Although this may be desirable, if the density is increased too much, the readability of the barcodes can decrease due to the following factors:

高密度条形码限制

当在点阵或激光打印机上打印高密度条形码时,请记住,您需要使用高分辨率的光学扫描仪来读取条形码。 由于各种原因(例如,点阵打印机头已老化或激光打印机出现墨粉污点),可能导致条之间的白色窄间隔太窄,从而使中低分辨率的光学扫描仪无法检测出来。 另外,激光打印机打印出的线条也可能会太细,超出光学扫描仪的光学分辨能力。 因此,如果您计划打印高密度的条形码,建议您使用高分辨率的光学扫描仪。

低密度条形码和照片复制

使用低密度点阵条形码可以生成高质量的照相制版作品。 如果以照相缩版方式缩小低密度条形码,点阵打印机中的单独点将消失,从而使其呈现使用高质量激光打印机打印的效果。

Density and the USPS POSTNET Symbology

When the POSTNET symbology is specified, BarTender does not enable you to specify a density setting for your barcode. 此时,BarTender 将根据其高度自动确定条形码的密度。
