  The code below I have used in the past with earlier versions of c1Barcode.

  With the latest version bc.x, bc.y work just fine but bc.Height, bc.Width can be changed and nothing happens. I get this tiny little unreadable barcode.

  Code Below:

  Dim bc As New RenderImage
  
  Dim doc as C1PrintDocument

  bc.X = 0.2
  
  bc.Y = 3.2

  bc.Height = “0.5in”
  
  bc.Width = “1.75in”

  bc.Image = c1Barcode.Image

  doc.Body.Children.Add(bc)

  Hello Glenn,

  Please refer the attached sample making use of the code snippet that you have shared, showing the barcode image size varying wrt the assigned value for Height and Width.
  
  For Height=4in and Width=5in, see the size of the barcode image increasing with the latest build, as shown in the attached video.
  
  Kindly modify the sample as per your requirement and if the issue persists, share a screenshot/small video showing the issue along with the modified sample.

  Best Regards,

  Ok I was able to alter my code on my Label using your example, thank you.

  Working with my second label I am using a Vertical bar code and I’ve tried a number of things to try to fix it but no luck.

  The code below is the code you sent me with a few modifications My end goal is to have the vertical bar code be about .25" tall and have it extend 1.8" (vertically) on the 2x4" label.

  The vertical is what I am interested in the horizontal is for reference.

  Imports C1.C1Preview
  
  Imports C1.C1Report

  Public Class Form1
  
  Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
  
  Dim text As New RenderText(“C1PrintDocument Test”)
  
  text.Style.TextAlignHorz = AlignHorzEnum.Left
  
  text.Style.FontSize = 12
  
  text.Style.FontBold = True
  
  C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(text)

      'Label Size
      With C1PrintDocument1.PageLayout.PageSettings
          .TopMargin = 0.1
          .BottomMargin = 0.1
          .LeftMargin = 0.1
          .RightMargin = 0.1
          .PaperKind = Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.Custom
          .Height = 4
          .Width = 2
          .Landscape = True
      End With
  
      'Vertical Label *************************************************************************************
  
      Dim c As New C1.Win.BarCode.C1BarCode
  
      c.CodeType = C1.BarCode.CodeType.Ansi39x
      c.Text = 9999999
      c.BarDirection = C1.BarCode.BarCodeDirection.BottomToTop 'changed ***********************************
  
      Dim bc As New RenderImage
      bc.X = 3.6
      bc.Y = 0.1
      bc.Width = ".25in"
      bc.Height = "1.8in"
      bc.Image = c.Image
      C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(bc)
  
      'Horizontal Label *************************************************************************************
  
      Dim c2 As New C1.Win.BarCode.C1BarCode
  
      c2.CodeType = C1.BarCode.CodeType.Ansi39x
      c2.Text = 9999999
  
      Dim bc2 As New RenderImage
      bc2.X = 0.1
      bc2.Y = 1
      bc2.Width = "1.8in"
      bc2.Height = ".25in"
  
      bc2.Image = c2.Image
      C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(bc2)
  
      'Dim barcode As New RenderBarCode(BarCodeEnum.Ansi39)
      'barcode.X = 1.5
      'barcode.Y = 2.5
      'barcode.Height = "0.5in"
      'barcode.Width = "1.75in"
      'C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(barcode)
      C1PrintPreviewControl1.Document = C1PrintDocument1
  End Sub
  

  End Class

  Hello Glenn,

  If you read the description of the Height and Width properties of RenderImage, you would see that they take “absolute” values for the measures. Thus, entering the values in points is not possible. Please refer the documentation link showing the same:
  
  http://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/c1report/webframe.html#C1.C1Report.4~C1.C1Preview.RenderImage_members.html

  You may want to set them to the nearest absolute values in order to obtain the barcode somewhat close to the desired size.

  Best Regards,

  Hello Esha

  Is it possible that when the image from C1BarCode is displayed in C1PrintDocument it will be sharp ie. in the same way as it is displayed in the C1BarCode component itself (like in the sample …\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\v4.8\C1.Win.Barcode\CS).

  Here is the image in C1PrintDocument also with zoom

  Hi,

  You can render high quality Barcodes on C1PrintDocument through RenderBarCode instead of RenderImage. (see code snippet)

  
          Dim barcode As New RenderBarCode(BarCodeEnum.Ansi39)
          barcode.X = 1.5
          barcode.Y = 2.5
          barcode.ShowText = True
          barcode.Text = "12324562662"
          barcode.Height = 1
          C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(barcode)
  
  

  Refer image of Barcode on PrintDocument:

  Please refer the attached sample for the same: C1PrintDocument_C1Barcode.zip
