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528.
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 barcode type Code 128. For the properties of other barcode
types, see "Barcode type and properties" on page530.
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.
Code set
Set of characters to be used:
l
A: ASCII characters 00 to 95 (0–9, A–Z and control codes), special characters, and FNC
1–4
l
B: ASCII characters 32 to 127 (0–9, A–Z, a–z), special characters, and FNC 1–4
l
C: 00–99 (encodes each two digits with one code) and FNC 1
In Auto mode, the barcode generator will automatically select the correct encoding mode (set A,
B or C) according to the input data.
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.
