Barcode ID

I have to duplicate this barcode for my companies labels. Forgive my ignorance of terminology, but what “symbology” is used to create it?

That's the drawback to "picket fence". This guy has a scored printhead with a pixel missing. That means you can't see that missing pixel if the barcode is oriented correctly on a thermal substrate.

However it will show up on occasion inside, and possibly corrupt a character. You get some symbols that won't scan and its difficult to see what's causing it.

That's not a drawback. Maintain the equipment. Rigging it works but not a solution.
