How to Use the Mox Barcode Information Reader
Step 1: Design your artwork with the formatted barcode.
Step 2: Upload artwork to Mox
Once your artwork including the barcode is complete, upload your artwork to Mox. Click the Review button to access the barcode information tool. Select the barcode information tool. Click and drag to create a box over the entirety of the barcode.
Mox supports a wide range of commonly used barcode types, including:
Code 128
Code 39
Data Matrix
EAN-8
EAN-13
PDF417
Pharmacode
QR Code
UPC-A
UPC-E
Step 3: Review barcode information
Mox will report the type of barcode, the value and size information to help ensure that it's properly encoded and can be read by scanners. The barcode tool can read from left to right and right to left, as well as up and down when the barcode is rotated 90 or 270 degrees. Alternatively, rotate the page image using the rotate buttons and then take a reading. You can also use rulers to make sure that the barcode is properly aligned and positioned within your design.
Step 4: Annotate & markup with revisions
Easily pin your barcode readings. If barcode rework is required, add replies to your barcode annotations to highlight any issues with the barcode especially if it is unreadable or doesn’t meet the type, value or size requirements. All pinned barcode readings and replies are included in the proof report with the scanned barcode area and the requested changes. The proof report can be provided to the designer so they can see exactly what changes are needed to ensure the barcode meets all requirements.
