Printing Barcoded label (1 Viewer)

[RickHunter84]

Hello my friends,

Here I am again asking for some support.

I'm printing a label with the idea of using a barcode scanner, the source for the label is a Query. I'm using = "*" & [Field] & "*" in a unbound textbox, with the font Free 3 of 9 or also known as 39. When looking at the layout view the barcode is complete, but when I switch to print preview and issue the print out the last bars don't print, therefore, the barcode is useless.

The unbound text boxes are set to Grow/Shrink "Yes", I have been scratching my head on this for while, I've tried other similar fonts with some kind of success to later go back to the same dilemma, after modifying the layout of the report. I'm printing vertically, so I need to adjust the text accordingly.

Any idea what could be causing this behavior?

Regards,

Rick

Hi Rick. Hard to say without seeing it. Are you able to post a demo db to show the problem?

i have included 3 of 9 font (from 3 of 9 Barcode Font | dafont.com).
install the font first before running the db.
i already set the font of your barcode to this font.

Hello,

I followed the steps, but still has the same problem. I have some old labels that printed fine, and I can tell by comparing at the barcode pattern that the new print out are still missing information.

Sounds like the textbox control is not wide enough to display all the data as a barcode. . Try making the control's width larger.

Can Grow will make the control taller, forcing the text to wrap to a second line. This will not work for the 3of9 (39) barcode because it must be on a single line.

Hello, thank you for your suggestion.

I tried that, still eats part of the barcode making it useless.

I have attached examples of the behavior. I changed font again from google. The label size is 2.3inX3.9in

Okay, friends. I'm not sure what was the problem, but here is my solution: I changed the format to portrait. Yes, that's it.

Thank you for everybody that tried to help.

Best regards,

Rick
