Bar Width Adjustment

[skearney]

Is there a way to modify the barcodes in Fusion Pro to compensate for dot gain in a printer or ink spread? In most of the barcode generation programs I have previously used I had options for Bar Width Reduction.

Hello,

 

Are you looking to, essentially, horizontally stretch the barcode so each bar is "fatter"?

 

See if the <setwidth> tag works for you. In a rule, append this tag to the front of your barcode and set the size to be whatever pointsize you want the barcode to be horizontally scaled to.

 

Here's an example of using setwidth at 50pt with barcode data after it:

 

return '<setwidth newsize="50">' + yourBarcodeData;
