Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode type Royal Mail Mailmark. For the properties of

6 dots when printed at 300dpi. The maximum module size for printing is 0.7 mm.
Preferred version
Use the drop-down to select the size of the barcode, in a number of modules. The actual size of
the barcode can be 12 mm x 12 mm up to 22.4 mm x 22.4 mm, depending on the preferred
version and the module width.
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.
