Zint is a C library, capable of creating most of barcodes. Ocvita Barcode is an ActiveX control, that allowes use of zint in any application, taht support ActiveX. In 1C version 8 you can use it on the forms or table (spreadsheet) document.

For best integration the following capabilities was added:

• when encoding to EAN-8/13 you can input the string of 7/12 chars (without check digit - how the original zint work). Also you can input string of 8/13 chars (including check digit);
• you can use transparent background - set bgcolour to "" (empty string);
• if the properties are set incorrectly,  the control will display crossed rectangle
• you can use the 1 pixel minimal element width. To do it, ser scale = 0.5. When printing on 200 dpi thermal or thermal-transfer printer, it allowes to create a EAN-13 barcode, that have a width of 13 mm (0.5 in). It is less, than standard, but most modern barcode scanners reads such barcodes.
