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).
Color
The Color property allows you to choose a different Barcode color (instead of black) and
Background color (instead of white), by typing a hexadecimal color value (see for example
w3school's color picker).
Output format
Defines how the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
l
SVG: Vector format. This is smaller in size, but not compatible with Email output.
l
PNG: Binary rasterized format. This is slightly larger than SVG but will display properly in
Email output.
GS1 DataMatrix
GS1 DataMatrix is one of the types of barcodes that can be added to a template; see "Barcode"
on page528.
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528.
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.
About GS1 DataMatrix barcode data
In order to create a GS1 compliant DataMatrix barcode, the barcode data must meet the
following requirements.
l The barcode data must start with a leading FNC1 character: ~1. When this function code
is omitted the barcode may be scanned as a DataMatrix barcode instead of a GS1
DataMatrix barcode.
