barcode properties (see: Scanning, Barcode/OCR, General
barcode and OCR properties).
Label: name of the barcode*. This name identifies the barcode and,
if the barcode is used as an index field, it will appear in the Index
Setup as BC_[Label] (see: Indexing, Defining index fields).
(*) The label will appear in the top left corner of the barcode zone (in red) by
clicking on on the Barcode and OCR Setup window toolbar).
Keep barcodes with mask: give the barcode a mask to make sure
that only barcodes with that mask are retained for the defined zone.
For example, a mask of A(8) will retain a barcode value of up to,
but not exceeding, eight alphabetic characters ("Surgery" will be
retained - "Admission" will not be retained). See: Project setup,
Scanning, Barcode/OCR, Setting a mask syntax.
Minimum length: indicate the minimum number of characters to
be contained in the barcode. If the barcode does not contain the
minimum number, it will not be returned by the software.
Properties
Size: if the barcode has a fixed width and height, enter these values
in the Barcode width and Barcode height fields. Making an entry
in one or both of these fields increases the performance of barcode
reading. If one of the dimensions is variable, enter "O".
