A printing method for printing bars in a barcode by forming dots on a print medium. The method includes dividing the bars of the barcode into a plurality of segments, forming the dots such that a portion of bars in a first segment are shifted a predetermined direction relative to a portion of bars in a second segment, and printing the barcode by forming dots in each of the plurality of segments. The predetermined direction can be towards a least significant digit of information represented by the barcode when the barcode is seen from the front. In one embodiment, the plurality of segments equals three. Other printing methods, as well as printers for performing the methods, are also provided. |
