Can you do a video how to scale the codes so they don't print super tiny?

Also I'm working with Square POS what is the best way to print this into labels?

Thank you for this video. When I hit enter to generate the code mine has the word auto in front of the numbers.. what did I do wrong?

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I am not sure why your barcode has "auto" in front. This is the formula I used (=IMAGE("barcodeapi.org/api/auto/"&A1
)). All you have to do is to replace "A1" with the cell that has your code value. Make sure that your code value is set as Text (refer to video for that). If all this does not work, try to replace auto with a specific barcode type from the barcode list. As for the size of the barcode and how to print them in labels, I suggest that you copy the generated barcode into a Google Doc or a Word document and past the code as a "Picture". Then, you can resize your code as needed and then print it as a label. I will try to make a video of that soon in the future. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
