You must provide sample barcode data to display and print on the
sample card. You do this on the General tab of the Edit Field
Properties [Barcode] dialog box. If you enter too much sample data,
the field is filled with diagonal lines. If the barcode type does not
support the data you entered, the field is filled with a crosshatch
pattern.
You must inform your Production operators about the amount and
kind of data that can be entered in barcode fields. Or, use a text field
mask or a composite field on the Production Form to ensure that
acceptable data is entered. See “Text Field Masks” on page 44 or
“Composite Field” on page 55 for additional information.
See the online help topic “Add a barcode field to a card” for step-by-
step instructions.
