How to insert GS1-128 barcode on report?
KaYs3r:
So...
I've managed to add the barcodes to a report and print it. But the quality is very poor.
I want to print to a label printer, and the barcodes are really hard to read.
Is there any configuration for the quality?
Thanks
Thaddy:
The quality depends on the font you are using.
It needs to explicitly support gs1-128.
Usually the hardware supplier has such fonts available, but many are free.

Hi Thaddy,
I'm using an image, not a font. If I used a font, quality would not be an issue, but unfortunatly, I can't use font with reports, only images :\
Thanks
Thaddy:
Why can't you use barcode fonts with (any report engine) reports? I have been doing that for ages and I wrote for barcode scanners since 1996 and for DOS. I really do not understand your question anymore after that reply.
Back in the days that was way more difficult. (or simpler, just use prn)
To do it properly, you need a proper font and things become very easy.

Going with that line of thought (which is wrong btw): images (usually a bitmap) can be used to draw text using .... surprise... a font :)
