To get rid of the 10 point margin you can do one of the following:
(barcode-0.98)

1) You can change the statement "#define BARCODE_DEFAULT_MARGIN 10" in
   barcode.h to be 0 and then recompile the package.  But I think a scanner
   needs some white space around the barcode in horizontal direction to
   recognize the code.

2) You can change the %%BoundingBox: comment in the resulting eps-file.
   Add 10 to the first and second value, subtract 10 from the third and fourth.

Is this what you need?
