Scaling Of Ean/jan-13
Hi,
I was wondering if there are anyways to set an exact width of an EAN/JAN-13 barcode within BarTender? It seems I am only able to scale within a proportionately at certain set constraints e.g. 0.17mm or 0.25mm etc.
However, my issue is that 0.25mm is too wide for my label and 0.17mm is too small. Is it possible to scale the x-dimension between these two sizes?
Many thanks in advance, any help would be much appreciated.

The X-dimension setting of a barcode specifies the width of the barcode. This in fact adjusts the number of dots a printer uses for the width of the narrowest element of the barcode. All other bars of greater width grow in ratio to the narrowest bar as you expand the barcode's width.
The size of the dot and the X-dimension are determined by the selected printer's resolution. A dot represents the size of the smallest mark the printer can print. Each step in the X-dimension increases the narrowest element by a single dot of the printer. The printer resolution is important because it's impossible to increase the narrowest elements by fractions of a dot. It can only increase by a full extra dot. Of course all wider barcode elements grow in ratio to this.
For example if the narrow element is 1 dot wide and the widest element is 10, when we increase the X-dimension by 1, so that the narrow element is 2, the widest element will now be 20. This accounts for the "jumping" in the barcode's width when you increase the X-dimension. The higher the resolution of the printer, the smaller these increments will be, because the size of a single dot will be smaller.
We do not advise that you try working around this physical limitation of the printer by exporting the barcode object as a graphic and then importing it back into your design as a picture object. Although a picture object can be scaled to any dimension desired, it will result in a poor quality barcode and may be unreadable for a barcode scanner.
BarTender allows you to specify a target x-dimension of your barcode, which will tell BarTender to always render your barcode as close to the target x-dimension as possible. This feature can be found in the properties of the barcode on the Symbology and Size page. Click on the Wizard button to the right of X Dimension.0 -
Hi
You can change width of EAN13 barcode, you can change settings in properties window in your EAN13 barcode generator software. You can also change unit of measure.(http://www.barcodelib.com/barcode_software/ean13.html)
