47、ic objective as a machine readable data carrier.Manufacturers of bar code equipment and the producers and users of bar code symbols therefore require publiclyavailable standard test specifications for the objective assessment of the quality of bar code symbols, to which theycan refer when developing
48、 equipment and application standards or determining the quality of the symbols. Suchtest specifications form the basis for the development of measuring equipment for process control and qualityassurance purposes during symbol production as well as afterwards.The performance of measuring equipment is

It should be read in conjunction with thesymbology specification applicable to the bar code symbol being tested, which provides symbology-specific detailnecessary for its application.There are currently many methods of assessing bar code quality at different sta
