// Title: Generate Code 16K barcode and save as high‑resolution TIFF
// Description: Demonstrates creating a Code 16K barcode with the maximum 77‑character payload and exporting it to a 300 DPI TIFF image.
// Category-Description: This example belongs to the Aspose.BarCode generation category, illustrating how to configure barcode parameters such as resolution, aspect ratio, and quiet zones using the BarcodeGenerator and related parameter classes. Typical use cases include producing high‑quality printable barcodes for packaging, shipping labels, or archival documents. Developers often need to adjust DPI and module sizing to meet printing standards, and this snippet shows the essential API calls.
// Prompt: Generate Code 16K barcode with maximum 77 characters, save high‑resolution TIFF.
