Supplement
UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN-8 may all include an additional barcode to the right of the
main barcode.
l
Type: The supplement type can be 2-digit (originally used to indicate the edition of a
magazine or periodical) or 5-digit (used to indicate the suggested retail price for books). In
case this option is set to None, and the data includes digits for the 2 or 5 supplement, the
supplement data will be skipped and the additional barcode will not be rendered.
Note
When the chosen supplement type doesn't match the data, the supplement data will
be skipped and the additional barcode will not be rendered.
l
Height Factor: This is the relative height of the supplement's bars compared to the
normal bars.
l
Space Before : Defines the space between the main symbol and the supplement, in cm.
Human Readable Message
When this option is checked, PlanetPress Connect shows a human readable text below or
above the barcode, as defined using the Text Position, using the specified font and font size.
The font size is given in points (pt).
Color
The Color property allows you to choose a different Barcode color (instead of black) and
Background color (instead of white), by typing a hexadecimal color value (see for example
w3school's color picker).
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.
