Re: Zebra Printer - ^BY instruction behavior for barcode

I'm a newbie with Zebra (as you know from my recent questions) and haven't touched the barcoding at al. But if I remember correctly from my Magnum coding days, I think there's a length/height ratio limit in barcodes. Is it possible you're running into that restriction?

Hi there,

I have a barcode and it just fits on the label with no room to spare.  I
was thinking of shrinking it a touch to give it some more room.  I have
changed the BY instruction and it had no affect.  I would appreciate some
comments from those more experienced.

With the code below, I changed the ^BY from 2,3 to 2,2 and there was no
change with the label.

^XA
^LH0,0
^FO000,52^BY2,2^BCN,101,N,N,N^FD13284305873841^FS

^XZ
