Explanation
Because the
text
setting is optimized for text documents, it does not work well with barcodes, which are graphics. When using Text only
on a barcode, aliasing *
due to resolution becomes an issue. The outcome results in reduced image quality to the extent that the barcode engine cannot resolve the barcode. * The effect caused by different signals that become indistinguishable (or aliases of one another) when sampled, or if the resolution is too low, the reconstructed image will differ from the original image, and an alias is seen.
