How to Size an OnMerge Barcode

Setting the Height

Not all Barcode Types can have their height changed, since some barcodes have built-in heights. If that's not allowed, OnMerge Barcodes won't let you change the height.

There are 2 ways to change the height:

Use the Barcode Height setting on the Barcode Setup tab of the OnMerge dialog box. The Barcode Height setting controls the total height of the barcode, including any text and margins that are part of the barcode. Be sure to check the Hints for Barcode Type area of the OnMerge dialog box to make sure you're setting a height that will scan correctly.
Alternately, you can click on an existing barcode to cause the small selection rectangles on its edges to appear. Drag the selection rectangles to stretch/shrink the barcode to the desired size, then click outside the barcode to finalize the resizing operation.

Setting the Width

Not all Barcode Types can have their width changed, since some barcodes have built-in widths. If that's not allowed, OnMerge Barcodes won't let you change the width.

NB It's difficult to precisely nail down the exact width of a barcode since OnMerge Barcodes may automatically change it slightly depending on varying data (if the barcode used data from a database), and depending on the resolution of the printer where it's printed.

If the Fit Barcode to Width option is NOT set, set the width by changing the Narrow Barwidth setting in the Barcode Setup tab of the OnMerge dialog box.

If the Fit Barcode to Width option is set, there are 2 ways to change the width:

Use the Barcode Width setting on the Barcode Setup tab of the OnMerge dialog box. The Barcode Width setting controls the total width of the barcode, including any text and margins that are part of the barcode. Be sure to check the Hints for Barcode Type area of the OnMerge dialog box to make sure you're setting a width that will scan correctly.
