Hi all,

Did any1 here print XtraReport barcode to Zebra printer before?

I able to print barcode to Zebra Printer from XtraReport but the problem is it seem like I often get lower barcode quality that it is more difficult to read by barcode scanner when compare with printer directly using zebra printer zpl command. 

Do I didn't to configure anything before I can get better barcode quality? If yes, what is the settings?

Thank you vey much.

Hi,

This behavior looks strange. Please appeal to our Support Team at http://www.devexpress.com/sc, and they'll certainly help you.

I am interested in find out if you have resolved your issue.  I need to integrate my application to label pritners.  I have an option to use zpl or wysiwyg designer like XtraReport, and I am looking for pros and cons of each option.

You could help us investigate this issue by sending your project to our Support Team. Otherwise, sorry - it's difficult to understand what causes it.

 Alll wysiwyg barcode apps give you many opportunities to produce barcodes that are substandard, difficult to read, perhaps unreadable or even be misread.  Most clients use barcode in supply chains and are obligated by contract to attain minimum industry standards. Sending out bad barcodes can be very expensive. Chargebacks and loss of customers are common. 

The only way to insure you are producing acceptable codes is a testing method called ANSI/ISO barcode verification.  This method grades barcodes quality and their ability to be read by the variety of scanners in use. Simply scanning a barcode with your scanner proves nothing other than your scanner can read it, not that it is a good code or that other scanners should be able to read it as well.

Using ZPL and commanding the printer directly is not a guarantee for quality either.  There is a somewhat lower chance of error but it is still there.

You are shooting in the dark without verification.
