<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate proper bar-code configuration information as well as a proper bar-code satisfying use conditions of an individual user in a short time and with the minimal use of a paper sheet and ink. <P>SOLUTION: 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. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
