For Color or Grayscale or Bitonal types specify scanning resolution in Dots per Inch. VBD can create barcodes suitable for wide range of scanning resolution. Scanning at very high resolution might create large image files. Recommended scanning resolutions are:
200 dpi for Grayscale or Color. Grayscale is recommended.
300 dpi for Bitonal.
TIP: If you know type of scanner
(Grayscale/Color/Bitonal), but not sure about resolution, specify the
lowest expected resolution
