l The barcode data must start with a leading FNC1 character. Either ~1 or ~d232.
l The GS1 Application Identifiers (AI) must be used for all data.
The function code ~1 must be used as field separator for variable length AI elements.
l Only ASCII characters should be used.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode type GS1 DataMatrix. 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.
Preferred format
Use the drop-down to select the size of the Data Matrix.
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.
Tilde processing
Check this option to process tilde characters in the data as special characters. (See the
Java4less Barcodes Guide to learn what the tilde character can be used for.)
Note that with this option checked, any tilde that needs to be included in the output must be
escaped by adding another tilde: ~~.
