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.
Instead of using the Script wizard (see "Adding a Barcode" on page528) you could write your
own script to get the data for the QR Code; see this how-to: QR Codes in Designer.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the QR barcode. For the properties of other barcode types, see
"Barcode type and properties" on page530.
