Barcode Element Tab
Barcode elements are available for both laser and inkjet templates. Barcode
elements for inkjet templates have more color options.
Note: The best balance between speed and quality is usually obtained with
the scan direction parallel to the bar direction, three pixel bar width, edge
enhance not checked.
Symbology Type of barcode being used.
Text The text to be lased or printed.
Auto-Calculate Check
Digit
Many barcodes include a check digit. The check
box defines if the check digit shall be generated by
ConCAD (activate check box) or already is part of
the text data (deactivate checkbox).
Some users generate the check digit as part of their
data and send it to ConCAD at production time. In
this case disable the checkbox. Others only send the
raw data without the check digit - in this case
enable the checkbox, if the application requires a
check digit.
Barcode Height The height (in mm) of the barcode.
Narrow Bar Width The width (in pixels) of the narrow bars. In general, at
least three pixels are needed to avoid poor quality
results.
Barcode Color The grayscale color of the barcode. Click to pick
RGB color (inkjet templates only).
Background Color The grayscale color of the background. Click to pick
RGB color (inkjet templates only).
