Barcode not printing correctly using JSBarcode library

Question

I am trying to print a generated barcode. I am using the JSBarcode library to generate the barcode.

On the print screen, visuality is good but when I print it, the result is 4 pages and just one page has the barcode, and the barcode is very little and at the bottom of the page.

My html code is:

<div class="col-12 col-print-12">
   <p class="barcode tekli">
      <svg id="barcode tekli"></svg>
   </p>
</div>

My JS code is:

JsBarcode("#barcode", "1554466", {
    width:5,
    height:200,
    fontSize:50,
    displayValue: true
});

window.print();

window.open('', '_parent', '');

window.close();

My CSS is:

@media print {
    .tekli{
        -webkit-transform: scaleX(2);
        -o-transform: scaleX(2);
        -ms-transform: scaleX(2);
        transform: scaleX(2);
    }
    .page {
        width: 21cm;
        height: 29.7cm;
        margin: 0;
        border: initial;
        border-radius: initial;
        width: initial;
        min-height: initial;
        box-shadow: initial;
        background: initial;
        page-break-after: always;
    }
    .col-print-12 {
        width: 100%;
    }
}

Can you help me please?

Try this

$(document).ready(function(){
    JsBarcode("#barcode", "1554466",{
        width:5,
        height:200,
        fontSize:50,
        displayValue: true

    });

    window.print();

    window.open('', '_parent', '');

    window.close();
});

or to delete svg tag and replace with a simple div with id="barcode"

let divDOM = document.getElementById("barcode");
let svg = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "svg");
svg.setAttribute('jsbarcode-format', 'ean13')
svg.setAttribute('jsbarcode-value', '<?php echo $product["ean"]; ?>')
svg.className.baseVal = "barcode";
divDOM.appendChild(svg);
JsBarcode("#barcode","Smallest width",{
    width: 1,
    height: 25,
    lineColor: "#676a6c"
}).init();

Your code with minor changes in html/CSS working fine for me.

I have removed id tekli from svg (you can't have multiple Ids) and also removed .tekli style from CSS.

JsBarcode("#barcode", "1554466",{
    width:5,
    height:200,
    fontSize:50,
    displayValue: true

});

window.print();

window.open('', '_parent', '');

window.close();

   @media print {
       
        .page {
            width: 21cm;
            height: 29.7cm;
            margin: 0;
            border: initial;
            border-radius: initial;
            width: initial;
            min-height: initial;
            box-shadow: initial;
            background: initial;
            page-break-after: always;
              }
             .col-print-12 {
            width: 100%;
             }
              }

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jsbarcode/3.3.7/JsBarcode.all.min.js"></script>
<div class="col-12 col-print-12">

            <p class="barcode tekli">
                <svg id="barcode"></svg>
            </p>

        </div>
