Code 39 extended
Code 39 extended is one of the barcode types that can be added to a template.
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671.
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 Code 39 extended barcode type. For the properties of other
barcode types, see "Barcode type and properties" on page673.
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.
Inter Character Gap
Two adjacent characters are separated by an inter-character gap. A value of 1 means that the
separator will have the same length as the width of the narrow bars (in centimeters).
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.
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.)
The tilde is expected to be followed by the 'd' character and 3 digits representing an ASCII
character: ~dNNN . For example, ~d013 represents a carriage return.
Note that with this option checked, any tilde that needs to be included in the output must be
escaped by adding another tilde: ~~.
