Barcode sizes
The table below lists formulae for calculating the approximate dimensions of printed barcodes.
The dimensions of the barcode printed may vary, even when using the same program,
depending on conditions such as the characteristics and resolution of the printer used, paper
quality, and so forth. The dimensions derived from the formulae in this table are not guaranteed
to be the actual dimensions of the printed barcodes. Use this table as a reference when
estimating the size of printed barcodes.
