Enhancement - Improvement: 20% bigger barcode on landscape shipping labels

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi,

i'm experiencing problems when scanning the shipping label bar codes, ready for transport.
Each package needs 5-10 attempts to get noticed by the scanner..

By default my Dutch packages have shipping labels in "lansdcape" mode
I think the bar-codes on the labels are too small / narrow, they could easily be 20% bigger..
to improve "scan-ability".

Note: Ink spread is a common cause an can be improved by this..

See examples and or testprint the examples:

standard-size

20percent-bigger-barcode

The portrait mode options (mostly used for shipping abroad) could also be improved due to better alignment, although options are marginal..

(setting the printer to print at 120% doesn't work, as other elements are also affected, and being cut off. The barcode area has enough room for imrovement)

  • Printer: Bixolon slp dx420 with 10cm by 15cm shipping labels

Best

Hey Arn2014,

Unfortunatly this isn't an issue we can help you with as we don't generate the PostNL labels. You should contact PostNL at: citservicedesk@postnl.nl with your issue. They'll take a loot at your request and in turn they'll contact us if they require any help or have any development requests.

I'll also be closing this issue as we can't help you with it.

Kind Regards,

Jeffrey
