FastReport Printed bar code is not recognized by barcode reader

After many problems with different barcodes, I follow theses recommendations and it worked for EAN 13 and Code 128:

Set the barcode AutoSize = false, zoom = 1, and set barcode width = 27.77 mm

but other symbologies aren't recognized by barcode reader.

Send the barcode data on which I can reproduce it. For me, both barcodes work correctly with default parameters.

I'm printing these labels using Argox OS 214. On paper, barcodes cannot be read by barcode scanner.

When barcode is large its works, but when is narrow, doesn't. Some bars of code didn't print with correctly width.

Problem occurs when I print the barcode.

I read something about GDI and the way FatsReport render barcodes and how its impact printed barcodes.

This a limitation of your printer. The print width of the line does not match the print width of the printer. For fix it, you need to manually select the necessary Zoom parameter for your printer.

When I print out Fast report it works. So it's not limitation of my printer.

FastReport Open Source does not support direct printing. What did you print? Through web application? Web page has small dpi value for barcode printing.

Yes, I'm printing through web application. Is there another way to do this on web application?

FastReport Open Source does not support direct printing.

Searching topics, I saw direct print is in RoadMap.

What is the current status for this feature?

I'm facing the same issue when exporting the report with HTMLExport with 2/5 Interleaved barcode #589 Very similar to #237
