Bar-coding in Microsoft Office becomes quite easy with Morovia Barcode ActiveX. On the other side, you should understand the limitations imposed by Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office applications draw the barcode images in Windows metafile format, with the assumption that images can be transferred without loss on any devices. At the time of print, the metafile is scaled to match the printer resolution. As previously analyzed, this means transferring an image targeting high resolution device to printer. To make sure that the barcode printed has a high quality, use a printer with at least 300 dpi in resolution.
