A technique is provided to enable reproduction of a high-precision code symbol, which comprises a mark with a given location with respect to a reference point, using a comparatively low-resolution printing device which is arranged to apply dots of marking material in a resolution grid on a substrate. The resolution gris is defined by the dot resolution of the printing device and is composed as a two-dimensional array of dot-receiving cells. To enable the reproduction, the printing device is provided with data that represents the code symbol. Further, the printing device is controlled, based on the data, to reproduce the code symbol by arranging the reference point of the code symbol inside one of the dot-receiving cells and by applying at least one dot of marking material on the substrate.
