GS1-128
GS1-128 is one 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.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode type GS1-128. For the properties of other barcode
types, see "Barcode properties" on page 230.
Module width
Specifies the width of the narrow bars in centimeters. Changing this value to a higher value will
make the barcode bigger when Scale is set to None.
Scale
Defines if and how the rendered barcode is scaled in relation to the parent element:
l
None: The barcode is rendered based on the module width.
l
Fit to box: The barcode is stretched to fit the parent box in both width and height.
l
Proportionally: The barcode is stretched up to where it fits either the width or height of
the parent box, whichever requires the less stretching.
Add Checksum
When checked, PlanetPress Connect will calculate a Checksum character and add that to the
result of the Barcode script. If the value to be encoded is longer than 10 digits, a second check
character will be calculated.
Human Readable Message
When this option is checked, PlanetPress Connect shows a human readable text below or
above the barcode, as defined using the Text Position, using the specified font and font size.
The font size is given in points (pt).
