2. Choose the desired barcode type. The list is divided between 1d and 2d barcodes.

An ID is required. You can change the given ID and, optionally, add a class.

Check the option Absolute to insert the barcode in an absolute-positioned box inside the

<body> of the HTML, but outside other elements. Alternatively, use the Location drop-

down to select where to insert the Barcode.

At cursor position inserts it where the cursor is located in the template.

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 insertion point will be

before the <p> tag.*

After start tag inserts it within the current HTML element, at the beginning, just after

the start tag.*

Before end tag inserts it within the current HTML element, at the end, just before

the end tag.*

After element inserts it after the element in which the cursor is currently located. For

example if the cursor is within a paragraph, the insertion point will be after the end

tag of the paragraph (</p>).*

* 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.

the length and exact format of the required value. For a detailed description or for

background information on a specific barcode, please refer to the documentation provided

If it is necessary to concatenate fields to compose the barcode value, edit the script after

adding the barcode; see "Barcode script" on the next page.
