Show guardbars
Checking this option adds guardbars to the barcode. Guardbars are bars at the start, in the
middle and at the end that help the barcode scanner to scan the barcode correctly.
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.
Supplement
UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN-8 may all include an additional barcode to the right of the
main barcode.
l
Type: The supplement type can be 2-digit (originally used to indicate the edition of a
magazine or periodical) or 5-digit (used to indicate the suggested retail price for books). In
case this option is set to None, and the data includes digits for the 2 or 5 supplement, the
supplement data will be skipped and the additional barcode will not be rendered.
Note
When the chosen supplement type doesn't match the data, the supplement data will
be skipped and the additional barcode will not be rendered.
l
Height Factor: This is the relative height of the supplement's bars compared to the
normal bars.
l
Space Before : Defines the space between the main symbol and the supplement, in cm.
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).
