First off, using that barcode sequence is a bad idea. It was a bad
idea and should really only be retained for backward compatibility for
libraries currently using it. Sequential is a better choice.

This phenomena occurs because of the interaction of a short
(char-wise) barcode number and poor barcode image scaling code. The
quickest solution is to start your barcodes at some number starting
with a non-zero digit and containing five or more digits.
