UPC Codes Printed from FileMaker Not Scanning Well

[marcd]

When I print out UPC-A codes from FileMaker it takes sometimes 5 or more swipes with a wand to have them read. Using the same font (Bear Rock TT) in Word, Excell, PageMaker, or InDesign, I have no problems and it reads on the first or second swipe. I've created new layouts in FileMaker and still get have the same problem.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?? Using FileMaker 5.5 on OS 9.2.2.

Sorry for the very late response to this post. I've managed to ignore it for a month. Print the same code from both FM and another application and compare the results. Also, don't print barcodes at a font size different from the native size of the font (don't scale).

I've printed from many applications (at the recommended scale) and only have problems in File Maker.

I've switched to using Peninsula Barcode Plug-in for Filemaker. Works great!
