ID Works Standard and Enterprise Version 5 Administrator’s Guide
Barcode Field
You create barcode fields to print barcodes on your cards. With some
types of barcodes, you can specify density, error checking, and
whether the barcode field uses a checksum algorithm. The kind of
barcode you use in your card design is determined by the barcode
reading equipment you use. See the documentation for your barcode
reader to determine what barcode type to select. That documentation
will also explain the rules for determining valid information for the
barcode type you will use.
You select the barcode type on the Advanced tab of the Edit Field
Properties [Barcode] dialog box. The following table lists the barcode
types ID Works software supports, as well as the options available
with each barcode type.
