[Barcode] Variable width by design?

Hello

I notice that, by default, the width of a Barcode object varies depending on its contents:

I have no experience with barcodes yet, so this might be a baseless fear, but I'm concerned that entry-level scanners might have a difficult time reading smaller barcodes. Could this be a problem? If yes, how can I tell FR to maintain a big enough width?

Thank you.

    you can alter the widebarratio property.
    most barcode types limit the number of characters they can handle.
    your best approach is to print some samples and test the reader.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
