Measured with this same tool and its sample template for this sheet; the result with your text and your code may vary a little. “Module” is the width of the thinnest bar; the recommended one is 0.33 mm for EAN-13 and 0.25 mm for Code 128.
When printing this sheet
Remember to choose Letter paper in step 3: the 5163 is not for A4. It leaves about 4 mm at the sides and 12.7 mm at the top and bottom, with 4.76 mm between columns. At this height, a UPC-A or EAN-13 comes out with a 0.85 mm module and bars of about 29 mm with a name and price, and a QR of over 43 mm: it is the most comfortable Letter sheet for a retail code.
