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.
