Length of the bars
For the UPC and EAN (JAN) barcode type, the length of the short and tall bars can be
adjusted. When adjusting the length of the tall or short bars, specify that of both tall and
short bars. If the length of only the tall or short bars is adjusted, the bars' length does not
change. It is recommended to use the dot for the unit of measurement in order to avoid
the translation error by the barcode reader. In the example below, the length of the short
bar is specified as 1.5cm and the tall bar as 1.7cm.

Width and space of the bar
It is possible to adjust the widths of the bars and space between the bars. When adjusting
these widths, specify all of the eight width and space parameters. Specify the bar 1 to bar
4 in the ascending order. The values can be specified between 1 and 200 dots.
1dot ≤ bar1 < bar2 < bar3 < bar4 ≤ 200dots
1dot ≤ space1 < space2 < space3 < space4 ≤ 200dots
It is recommended to use the dot for the unit of width in order to avoid the translation
error by the barcode reader. The example below specifies the width of the first bar and
space as 5 dots and that of the remaining bars as 10 dots.
