Target Sizes box

The Target Sizes box contains edit boxes that allow the user to enter width values (in units of hundredths of a millimetre) for the unit bar width (i.e. the thinnest bar) used to create the final image, and the height of each bar as a multiple of its width. Note that the metafile image produced by dBarcode may be resized independently of the target size, although the sizes stored within the metafile will be those derived from the bar widths defined in this dialog.

The Sizes area also contains a box that permits the size of any border required to be defined (in millimetres).

The Sizes area also contains an edit box that allows the percentage reduction of bar width to be specified. This is useful if the target printer causes the bars to be printed larger than expected, or if wet ink is used and spreads on drying. A positive value entered in this box is a percentage of a single unit bar width that is removed from all bars on printing. A negative value in this box causes the reduction to be proportional to the thickness of the bar - and so is more useful in counteracting ink-spread.
