Common Causes of Scan Failures

**Cause 1: Wrong Size.** When you print a barcode on a 4x6 roll using an A4 PDF the barcode gets stretched out. You can fix this by using our crop tool to make the barcode the size.

**Cause 2: The "Fit to Page" Setting.** This setting can make the barcode too big or too small so scanners cannot read it. You should always use the "Actual Size" setting.

**Cause 3: Darkness Settings.** If the barcode is not dark enough it will be hard to read. You should set your printer to a darkness of 10-12.
