+ Be careful when printing bitmap barcodes from a browser. You can't just
+ reduce the resolution to get the desired size. Better increase the
+ resolution and use HTML to scale down the bitmap or ...(see next point)

+ Sometimes you need to play with the resolution and module width
+ settings to get the best result. As a help: the minimum module width
+ can be computed by 1 / [resolution]. Example: 1 / 300dpi = 0.0033333333in.
+ This results in narrow bars being exactly one pixel in width. For
+ barcodes with a wide-factor parameter (like Codabar) you need to choose
+ a non-fractional value (2 or 3, not 2.5) in this case because there is
+ so "half a pixel" in bitmaps. If your values are too small the barcode
+ scanner can't detect the difference between narrow and wide bars anymore.
