// Title: Set Code 16K Quiet Zone Coefficients and Export as JPEG
// Description: Demonstrates how to configure quiet‑zone coefficients for a Code 16K barcode and save it as a JPEG image.
// Category-Description: This example belongs to the Aspose.BarCode generation category, illustrating the use of BarcodeGenerator, EncodeTypes, and barcode parameter settings such as quiet‑zone coefficients. Developers often need to adjust quiet zones for scanner compatibility or layout requirements, and then export the barcode to common image formats like JPEG.
// Prompt: Set Code 16K left quiet zone coefficient 0.5 and right coefficient 0.7, export JPEG.
