Preset: select File > Print presets > Output Creation Settings (see "Output Creation
Settings" on page 587) and send the preset to Workflow.
Before adding a Barcode, load data or at least a Data Model; see "Loading data" on page 327.
You will need the field names when adding the Barcode. Then, to add a Barcode to a section,
Master Page or snippet:
1.
Select Insert > Barcode on the menu or click the Barcode toolbar button
2. Choose the desired barcode type. The list is divided between 1d and 2d barcodes.
3.
An ID is required. You can change the given ID and, optionally, add a class.
4.
Use the Location drop-down to select where to insert the Barcode.
l
At cursor position inserts the Barcode where the cursor is located in the template.
l
Before element inserts it before the HTML element in which the cursor is currently
located. For example if the cursor is within a paragraph, the Barcode is inserted
before the <p> tag.*
l
After start tag inserts it within the current HTML element, at the beginning, just after
the start tag.*
l
Before end tag inserts it within the current HTML element, at the end, just before
the end tag.*
l
After element inserts it after the element in which the cursor is currently located. For
example if the cursor is within a paragraph, the Barcode is inserted after the end tag
of the paragraph (</p>).*
l
Absolute on body inserts the Barcode in an absolute-positioned box inside the
<body> of the HTML, but outside other elements.
* If the current element is located inside another element, use the Elements drop-down to
select which element is used for the insertion location. The list displays every element in
the breadcrumbs, from the current selection point until the root of the body.
5.
Under Script, select the field that contains the barcode value, or select the fields that
together compose the barcode value. When you select more than one field, the script puts
the values of the selected fields in one string and passes that to the barcode generator.
The barcode type dictates the length and exact format of the required value.
For barcodes that require a Checksum, the Designer can calculate a Checksum if that
isn't provided by your data. Then script result should be the required value minus the
Checksum. Edit the barcode properties to include the calculated Checksum with the
barcode value, after adding the barcode to the template; see below.
