Barcode Is Printed with a Different Size than in Preview

Problem

You have insert a bar code in size mode „Fit to Bounding Box“ and linked it to a cell – then you have enlarged the bar code with the mouse. During printing – if the linked cell value changed – the bar code will be resized and becomes smaller.

When updating a barcode image via print events, the last taken panel size is used - and that’s why the bar code becomes smaller. In other words - when printing, the system checks whether the data has changed - if so, a completely new barcode image is generated - but in the original size at the time of insertion (and not in the later scaled size).

Workaround

After manually adjusting the barcode size, you should click on Update again in the TBarCode Panel - then the scaled (and in most cases distorted) image will be re-generated and the changed size will be adopted into the internal barcode properties.
