Table Of Contents
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... option in the context menu.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the Aztec Code barcode type. For the properties of other
barcode types, see "Barcode type and properties" on page642.
Module size
Enter the size of the square modules in pixels.
Configuration type
Use the drop-down to select the format type used when creating the barcode: only full range
format, only compact formats, or any format.
Preferred configuration
Use the drop-down to select the preferred format for the barcode. Note that the barcode
generator may choose a different format if the data cannot be represented by the preferred
format.
Encoding
Use the drop-down to select the encoding type:
l Normal can encode any character but is not very efficient for encoding binary values
(above 128).
l Binary is to be used only if the data contains many bytes/characters above 128.
Error Correction Level
This option reserves a percentage of the symbol capacity for error correction. The
recommended percentage for this type of barcode is 23.
Rune
When set to a value between 0 and 255, an Aztec Rune corresponding to the selected value is
created. Set the Rune to -1 to disable this feature.
