Question / Problem:

What resolution setting (DPI) should I use when scanning bar codes?

Answer / Solution:

Capture supports an Enhanced Bar Code (EBC) Engine and a Standard Bar Code Engine.

  • The EBC Engine can process barcodes with a resolution as low as 100 DPI.
  • The Standard Bar Code Engine achieves the best results when scanning at 200 DPI or higher.
