Barcodes

A barcode is the image represented by a pattern of wide and narrow bars which contains information which is read by a barcode reader (optical scanner). Cognitive Solutions thermal barcode printers can print both 1D linear and 2D barcode images.  With exceptional printing quality, our barcode printers are compatible with a wide range of scanning.
  
1-D Barcodes (Linear Barcodes): Linear barcodes store data within the line width, the spacing between the lines, and the combinations of the lines. Cognitive Solutions thermal barcode printers meet stringent quality standards to ensure barcode data is printed on media with the highest accuracy and scan ability.

2-D Barcodes: 2-D Barcodes offer a more broad symbology range.  The most common 2D symbology utilized today is matrix codes, which features square or dot-shaped modules arranged on a grid pattern.  There are many 2-D symbologies other than matrix codes, such as those which have circular patterns, or those which utilize steganography by hiding an array of different sized or shaped modules within a user specified image.
