Report Designer: changing bar width in EAN-128 barcodes

I have attached sample barcodes.

First one has default narrow bar width 0,3 mm, the second one has 0,4 mm.

The red rectangle shows possible problem: first two bars and two spaces have the same width.

Hi Piotr,

We have the same problem with SSCC barcodes. GS1 provider cannot verify the barcode when the width is set to 0,0495cm (the minimum x-dimension value). I see no response here, but by any chance, do you already have a solution?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi,

this problem has been reported to IFS Customer Support. The got feedback that the barcodes are generated by 3-rd party software and our support reported the problem to that external party. 

According to my tests and investigation, barcodes are correct for default width 0,3 mm and double width 0,6 mm. Other widths less than 0,6 mm produce barcodes with invalid vertical bars or spaces.

If you have enough space on labels, you can try increasing the width to 0,6 mm. We cannot do this, as our customer uses 10x15 cm labels.

Best regards,

Piotr

Hi Piotr,

exact multiples really do work.

Thanks again for your reply.
