Full Abstract:  Businesses that must apply bar code shipping labels to meet customer requirements face expensive consequences if the labels are unreadable. Common consequences include refused shipments, chargebacks, and eventually, disqualification as a supplier. Fortunately, nearly all print quality problems are preventable by consistently monitoring printer performance and implementing simple quality assurance steps. This white paper describes the causes of common bar code print quality problems and explains how they can be corrected and prevented. It provides a solid overview of thermal printing technology and tells the reader how to create a simple, effective quality assurance program that will help ensure consistent, hiqh-quality printer performance for years.
