Data Matrix Barcode Size

I'm working on a label that will have a Data Matrix barcode using ECC 200. It appears that the barcode image changes size with the size of the data. While this makes sense, I would like to center the image in a section of the label. Is there any way to predict the size of the barcode image in advance, based on the data going into the encoding?
 
This would let me project in the software where to put the code based on its size.
 
Thanks,
Bernie
PS: Is anyone aware of some sizing and locating issues with QR codes?

Hi Bernie, You are correct that the barcode sizes with the amount of data you encode.  This is true for most variable size barcodes in our printers, including QR codes.  There are a few third party label software tools that will handle the sizing for you including keeping the size static.  NiceLabel and Bartender are both well known tools with these capabilities.
