EAN 13 Barcode Font First Digit Smaller

Tagged With:-

Our company purchased the IDAutomation UPC/EAN Barcode Font Package (we are generating EAN-13 Barcodes). My customer is complaining that the first character is smaller than the rest of the numbers.

An example of a barcode's encoded data that is being generated is Y(0E69BB*KQNSRR(.

Is there a way to make all the numbers the same size? The barcode is printing and scanning just fine other than the fact that the first charter is smaller.

Operating System: Windows 7

Application: MS Word

James	Best Answer As seen below, the EAN13 barcode's leading digit is (by design) different than the rest of the human-readable text to distinguish it (there is no way to change this): Another option is to use the UPC/EAN font that has an 'n' at the end of the name, as described on the User Manual: Fonts that exclude the normal human-readable characters are provided in this package to support the printing of the human-readable variation according to ISO/IEC 15420 2000 Figure E.3. With this type of implementation, the digit "N" located at character "Z" may be used with the font names ending with the letter "n." Additionally, a separate custom field must be placed below the symbol according to the specification. The human-readable variation should only be used when required. These fonts are provided in the HRVariation folder of the product package. Posted 10.3 year(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse
