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.
Instead of using the Script wizard (see "Adding a Barcode" on page671) you could write your
own script to get the data for the QR Code.
