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.
Note that this type of barcode processes tilde characters (~) in the data as special characters.
See the Java4less Barcodes Guide to learn what the tilde character can be used for.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the Codabar barcode. For the properties of other barcode types,
see "Barcode type and properties" on page642.
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.
Add Checksum
When checked, PlanetPress Connect will calculate a Checksum character and add that to the
result of the Barcode script. If the value to be encoded is longer than 10 digits, a second check
character will be calculated.
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).
