Target Size box

The Target Size box contains two edit boxes that allow the user to enter height and width values (in millimeters or inches – depending on the selection of the Units combo box) for the final image. Note that the metafile image produced by dBarcode may be resized independently of the target size, but that when resized any fontsize will also change.

Note that those barcodes which have a nominal size (e.g. the EAN-13 and EAN-8 codes) may have the nominal size entered into the height and width edit boxes automatically, by checking the Use Nominal Size checkbox. Barcodes may be scaled to a percentage of the nominal size by entering the required value in the nominal size multiplier edit box. Allowed values are 10 - 200%. Note, however, that the acceptable size range for most barcodes types that have nominal sizes is 80-120%.

The width of the image may be overridden by specifying a value for the X unit (the width of the smallest bar element). Note that this value is in the standard unit of mils (0.001 inches), and should not normally be less than 10. It must not be less than 8 or the barcode images may not scan. When not required X should be specified as 0.
