ENFOCUS Instant Barcode Quick-Start Guide 11 Instant Barcode Toolbox The Instant Barcode Toolbox allows to set all parameters for a barcode to be created.

These dashes are not really part of the code nor the standard. Bar Width Reduction The Bar Width Reduction reduces the width of the bars, to compensate for the growth on the printing press. These values are usually provided by the printer. A positive value will reduce the width of the bars. Instant Barcode will check if the value still allows the creation of a valid barcode. A Bar Width Reduction that is too high (e. g. some bars might disappear) will generate a warning sign. Magnification Barcodes have a "standard" size. The Magnification sets the enlargement or reduction of the barcode. The maximum and minimum values are determined by the barcode type. For most barcodes, this value should be between 80% and 200%. This will prevent misreading of these types of barcodes when the barcode scanner reads the bars diagonal. Enabling this option will add the bearer bars at the correct position. Add End Bars on Bearer Bars Barcodes that support Bearer Bars also have the option to add a thicker end bar at both sides, to make the barcodes even more reliable. This option is only enabled in combination with Bearer Bars. For ITF and ITF14 barcodes, with both Bearer bars and End Bars, the width of the bars is fixed at 4. 8mm, regardless of the magnification.
