Hi All,

We have a requirement where in a barcode for the customer invoice need to be included in the SAPscript form. The output obtained is to be printed on to a pre-printed form using a dot matrix printer. The page format we are using is a custom one with width as 13inch and height 11 inch. The problem is the barcode is getting truncated and we are not getting proper value.Have kept narrow module width to 10 and ratio to 30 as it is a new barcode  of category Code39 created. The linear height was changed to 300 from 150 for better visibility. Whenever the parameters are changed the  the barcode clarity is changing. Also we have tested using I25 barcode(interleaved 2 of 5) converted to new barcode technology. Attached are the images of the problem. Could help in solving the problem of the barcode truncation.

Hello Ramesh,

I see that the I25 version is very narrow but only a real barcode scanning could decide whether it is fine.

This means: you can test to make the barcode a bit larger ("more readable"), and read the larger printed out contents with a barcode scanner.

Best regards,

Laszlo

Hi Laszlo,

Thank you for the reply. Your suggestions have been useful so far.Facing a new problem with barcode printing on dot matrix printer. The barcode is not visible on the pre-printed form we are using when printed. Rest of the data is getting printed and also the place we have kept the barcode window it is showing just the invoice number instead of barcode.Could help with some suggestions. I'll be posting this in a new thread.

Regards,

Ramesh

Try using Code128 barcode "BC_128_1".
