How to reduce size of the bar code. Zebra ZM600

I have a problem with bar codes on labels. I have two Zebra printers ZTC ZM600-200dpi ZPL(unreadable code) and ZTC ZT420-300dpi. The problem is that one of them prints for long barcodes, which then can not be scanned by a scanner (screen). What may be the problem, I tried to compare the settings. I changed to identical and nothing. How to change barcode size? enter image description here

  • The problem is that one of them prints for long barcodes

    Do you mean the barcode length is too long and getting cropped/cut-off and that is why it is not scannable?

    What software is generating the ZPL? And what values are being set with ^BY, which controls the module width of barcodes? Since the 300dpi label is readable, it sounds like you need to reduce the module width set by ^BY for the 200dpi label.
