How to Increase Bar Code width ?

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am printing a Bar code and I am getting its width depending upon size of data .

I am using CODE 128 and I am passing 854540008700547878 .

I want to fix the bar code width 9cm ..Currently I am using 6cm width and 150 height .

And If I increase the width more than 6cm then I got only charater 854540008700547878 not bar code.

Help wil be appriciated.

Regards

Steve

Hi,

You cannot fix the Width for 1D barcode (Code 128), the width will increase/decrease based on number of letters/numbers you are going to print.

If you want to fix the barcode width you need to go far 2D barcode, like PDF417.

Hi ,

Create your own bar code type rather than using system Bar Codes , if the length of your code doesn't fit with the standards available under SE73 . There you can define your own sizes as per your requirement , If you have a stands logic ,for example production order type Z001 should be in 15 lengthy code , then put a condition in the smart form to facilitate it , like wise you could use different lengthy bar codes in single form .

I hope this is what you meant by your treat.

Good Luck .

Cheers ,
