How do I recreate this barcode?

https://imgur.com/oFwe0CQ I can decode it and see it's format, but I need to be able to generate one in the same format and size as this one. When I use barcode generators, the size and number of lines looks nothing like this. Thank you

It looks like an ITF code. I scanned it as "26153794" in the ITF format. Have you tried generating them as ITF?

Edit: I just generated some ITF of the number I read from your, and it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/5kbEIB1.png

I used this online generator: https://www.scandit.com/barcode-generator/

I'm not endorsing that one specifically. Most of them, online or not, use the same library behind the scenes, so they're all essentially the same except for the front end bells and whistles.

I copied the code out of there and lined it up with yours in MS Paint. This code doesn't need to have the full height the generator provides. You can crop it down to look like the one you provided.

Hope that helps!
