If the replacement barcode is larger than the original barcode, the
replacement barcode will end at the right edge of the original barcode and
extend past the left edge. Any form elements (text, graphics, or dots)
immediately to the left of the original barcode, however, can force this first
attempted placement to be modified. The replacement barcode will shift
right to avoid obstacles on the left provided that there are also no
obstacles on the right.
Hor. Quiet Zone
This menu defines the quiet zones (empty areas) width before and after the
start/stop codes regardless of picket fence or ladder orientation. When
positioning the barcode, the quiet zone is taken into account when detecting
collisions with other elements (dots) on the form. If one of the horizontal quiet
zones is violated, the barcode will automatically shift to the left or right (for
picket fence orientation) or up or down (for ladder orientation) to remove the
quiet zone violation.
The width of the area can be defined between 0 and 0.99 inches in 0.01 inch
increments. The default is 0.20 inches. This feature ensures that the
replacement barcodes will be properly scanned.
Barcodes are
automatically adjusted
away from text (or other
obstacles on the form)
until the Hor. Quiet
Zone distance is met.
