Description
As you can see from the image, the top/black barcode is one generated using JsBarcode. The bottom/red one is what I'm actually trying to generate. They are both CODE128, but it seems that the CODE128 Auto setting slightly misrepresents a small portion of the barcode (indicated by the green arrows). The project BWIP-JS generates it as expected, but I'd prefer to use JsBarcode instead, as I've been using it for a little over a year now. What would I need to do to solve the minor discrepancy in the generated barcode?
