Color
The Color group 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).
When black is a composite of CMYK or RGB values, it may incur a color click charge on some
printers. Check the Output in Grayscale option to make sure that pure black is used.
Output format
l 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.
Barcode Data
QR Codes can have many different types of data, which determines how the code will be
generated. On top of just straightforward data, special data structures are used to trigger actions
on the device that reads them. This can include contact cards, phone numbers, URLs, emails,
etc.
To learn more about the specifications of the different QR code types, see the ZXing Project
barcode contents page.
Royal Mail 4 State (RM4SCC)
Royal Mail 4 State (RM4SCC) is one of the types of barcodes that can be added to a template;
see "Barcode" on page552.
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552.
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.
