We use PDF417 barcode with 2D scanners and have had no problems with long barcodes since going live.

They dont get much bigger when you add more to them.

2D scanners work far more accurately with 3of9 or code128 too.

I concur... Ive never run into issue with the number of characters before I have with font size, print area available issues. Usually when you hit area limitations is when you start to move into 2d barcodes, but I don't usually see that with 15 characters or less..unless you have some very small real-estate to work with..

Most problems I have ever seen is the width of the printing area
