Output format
Defines how the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
l
SVG: Vector format. This is smaller in size, but not compatible with Email output.
l
PNG: Binary rasterized format. This is slightly larger than SVG but will display properly in
Email output.
Codabar
Codabar is one of the barcode types that can be added to a template.
The barcode can be added either using the Barcode toolbar button or through selecting Insert
> Barcode on the menu; see " Adding a Barcode" on page 228.
Initially the barcode will have the barcode type's default properties. To change those properties,
such as the scale and color, open the Barcode properties dialog: right-click the barcode (on the
Design tab in the Workspace) and select the barcode type on the shortcut menu.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the Codabar barcode. For the properties of other barcode types,
see "Barcode properties" on page 230.
Module width
Specifies the width of the narrow bars in centimeters. Changing this value to a higher value will
make the barcode bigger when Scale is set to None.
Start Char and Stop Char
Use the drop-down to select the start and stop character for the barcode, which defines the
encoding mode. Available characters are A, B, C.
Scale
Defines if and how the rendered barcode is scaled in relation to the parent element:
l
None: The barcode is rendered based on the module width.
l
Fit to box: The barcode is stretched to fit the parent box in both width and height.
l
Proportionally: The barcode is stretched up to where it fits either the width or height of
the parent box, whichever requires the less stretching.
