Tip
As of version 1.5 it will be possible to change the type of a barcode in the template as well, when
changing the properties of a barcode.
OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail, Australia Post
OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail and Australia Post are some of the types of barcodes that can
be added to a template; see "Barcode" on page 228.
The barcode can be added either using the Barcode toolbar button or through selecting Insert
> Barcode on the menu; see " Adding a Barcode" on page 228.
Initially the barcode will have the barcode type's default properties. To change those properties,
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 type on the shortcut menu.
