GS1 Verified BarCodes

yijing · Post by **yijing** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 8:31 pm

Hi there,

We had an old version of Stimulsoft reports - 2007.1.0.0

We have a report that has barcode type EAN13 that's not GS1 verified. http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/need_a_bar_code

Can anyone tell me whether the new versions of Stimulsoft will have a barcode, type EAN13 that is GS1 verified?

If possible, can you provide a image showing the barcode? - for value 9420035109355 (x-axis 2.7)

thanks

Please can you explain in details why our EAN13 barcode is not GS1 verified?

Thank you.

The last verification report failed because bar width are too wide.

They commented that the bar width were varying.

Can you please give me an e-mail address to email the report privately to your team?

thanks

You need take in consideration many parameters - on which printer you print, which properties you set in barcode component.

Thank you.

Please take the following factors into consideration:
Thermal printers have small resolution (200dpi), therefore narrow elements of images may distort while printing.
You print a barcode with the scale 85%. In this case small elements of the barcode may distort while printing.
Please try to set the 100% scale.

Also, in attachment, there is the PDF-file with the sample of barcode with scaling 85%, 100%, 150%, 200%.

Thank you.
