Free Choice of Module size

What is meant by Free Choice of Module size?

The term "Free Choice of Module Size" in mobile data capture and barcode technology refers to the ability to flexibly and precisely set the width of a barcode module (the smallest unit of a barcode) in micrometers (µm). This allows for optimal adaptation of the barcode to various printing technologies, scanner types, and application cases.

Typical software functions in the area of "Module Size":

1. Size optimization: Automatic calculation of the optimal module size based on print resolution and scanner requirements.
2. Scalability: Adjustment of barcode size while maintaining readability for various applications.
3. Print simulation: Preview of the barcode with different module sizes for quality control.
4. Compatibility check: Verification of the chosen module size for compatibility with common barcode standards.
5. Error tolerance calculation: Determination of the minimum module size considering possible printing errors.
6. Customization: Creation of custom barcode templates with specific module sizes.

Examples of "Module Size":

1. High-resolution printing: Module width of 150 µm for precise labels in the electronics industry.
2. Large format printing: Module width of 500 µm for easily visible barcodes on shipping boxes.
3. Micro labels: Module width of 100 µm for tiny barcodes on laboratory samples.
4. Standard labels: Module width of 250 µm for general applications in retail.
5. Industrial marking: Module width of 300 µm for robust barcodes in harsh environments.
6. Mobile displays: Module width of 200 µm for optimal display on smartphone screens.
