Print barcodes using the Generator

How to print a barcode exactly onto a page

Here we show you how easy it is to print a barcode exactly onto a page. You can specify the barcodes position and size in millimeters.

For example, this functionality is useful when you need to print a barcode onto a form or position it precisely on a specific area of a sheet of paper.




First launch the ActiveBarcode Generator and create the barcode you require.




To print the barcode select the function One Barcode... from the Print menu. The following dialog box will show up:

Now look at the paper where you want to print the barcode. Use a ruler to measure both the position and the size of the area where the barcode should be printed. You need 4 values:

• Distance from the top of the page
• Distance from the left of the page
• Width of the barcode
• Height of the barcode

Enter these four values into the dialog and press the Print now button. The barcode will be printed exactly onto your paper.
