Is the barcode exactly the same picture, same size, same bar widths and spacings, etc.? If yes, it's probably due to the DPI of the picture (because it's a dot matrix printer!), so just try to increase the size of the barcode.

Thanks and Even increased barcode font itu2019s not readable by Scanner. I have tried to print barcode as image in the same dot matrix printer it use to read. Is there any feasibility to convert the smartform to PDF, may be it can support us to read barcode by scanner.

There is something I don't understand: if the barcode printed is visually correct, and exactly the same as with a laser printer, why do you want it would be better with a PDF (especially on a dot matrix printer).

Could you also tell us what symbology you use, and do you use smart form new barcode technology?
