Hi,
We have a report (Visitor Gate Pass) for which we require bar code.We are using Code 39 bar code type.
Previously it was placed below the visitor details . It was read without any problem.
Now we need to place the bar code below visitor image. Now there is space restriction and we need to be able to place and read that bar code .
But when we shrink the bar code its not readable.
Pls. tell which type of bar code to use in this case which should fit in the space and can be read by the scanner.
I am attaching the MRT and sample XML data for your kind reference.
Regards
Bharat

Please, read the 3.9.2.3 2D barcodes parameters section in our Stimulsoft Reports Universal User Manual. You could find there an information about length of different barcodes depending on the input data.
You could see there that the Code39 barcode has the the maximum length. It better to use Code93 or Code128auto in your case.

Thank you.

You can the lower the density of the code to make it more scannable.

Let me know if you need further info,

We couldn't reproduce the issue.
Which version do you use?

Thank you.
