The best read results are generally achieved at a symbol size of around 8 to 15 dots at 600 dpi. When making your selection, elements such as paper quality and colour, reading distance, scanning technique and light conditions are to be taken into account. When programming, you should pay attention to the required quiet zone. This is the small white area that has to be left blank above, below and to the right and left of the symbol. According to the standard, the area equivalent to a module is required, but in practice a larger quiet zone is to be recommended.
