AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented technology is how to create customized codes on printed materials such as tickets or labels by generating them based upon their intended purpose (user-friendly) requirements. This allows users to easily access these special codeings without having excessive amounts of material used during production.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: Current methods require multiple steps before generating optimal codes due to changes in paper quality caused by environmental factors like moisture content and temperature. Additionally, current systems generate many checks per sheet, requiring significant amounts of paper resources and processing times.

Embodiment Construction

[0001]1. Field of the Invention

[0002]The present invention relates to a printing device that records an image using a recording head and to a barcode generation system that generates data used to print barcodes on the printing device.

[0003]2. Description of the Related Art

[0004]In general, a barcode generation system that uses an inkjet recording head has an advantage that an image can be formed on various types of media in a non-contact manner but has a tendency that, because an ink droplet blurs on paper, the black bar of a barcode becomes wider and the neighboring white bars (that is, white spaces) become narrower. Because the black bar and the white bar of a barcode should have the same width, this bar widening / narrowing greatly affects the barcode reading accuracy sometimes with a problem that the barcode cannot be read.

[0005]To solve this problem, there are provided a barcode correction method that makes the white bar of a barcode wider in advance anticipating that the dot will

Abstract

A test chart for printing black bars and white bars of a barcode, each of which has one of multiple different numbers of dots-in-width, is printed on a printing device on which barcodes are printed. In image data on the test chart, the space between neighboring black bars on the test chart is used as a white bar. The widths of black bars and white bars of a barcode are measured based on the image of the printed test chart. Based on this measurement result, the numbers of dots-in-width of black bars and white bars to be set at a printing time are calculated as barcode correction values so that the black bar widths and white bar widths of a printed barcode meet predetermined sizes. This configuration generates barcode configuration information, or barcodes, that satisfy individual user's use condition, quickly and with the minimal use of paper and ink.
