Unable to increase the size of the barcode

I'm trying to print barcode 128 on 3 row low label with the following dimensions:

- Page Size: 3.48'' x 1.25''

- Rows: 1

- Columns: 3

- Template Size: 1.28'' W x 1.248'' H

- Margins: Top 0, Bottom 0.0, Left 0.05'', Right 0.05''

The only options I have for x dimension size are:

- 9.36mils (9.66 chars/in) goes off the label

- 4.93mils (19.417 chars/in) and is very small on the label 

 

How can I get a size in between so the barcode is larger. The barcode format is: ###-A##-#### (111-a11-1111)

  The size of the X dimension jumps is dependent on the resolution of the printer and so a 200 and a 300 dpi printer would give you different options, but that would mean having to change your hardware. 

  There is a way you can override the default settings but that can result in issues with scanning and especially verification.

  Peter, I did try changing that above target dimension and it would save, but when it got back to the original screen, that value hadn't changed and nor had the barcode on the label preview. You mention it may be a printer limitation. How would I find out the printer limitations for the new printer we just purchased? It's a ZT510 203 

  Thanks

  That is odd mine changes without a problem. 

  

   

  With a 300dpi printer the smallest X dimension is 3.29mils then 6.58 to 9.87 (or 0.08/0.17/0.25 in mms)
