Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode types OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail 4 State and
Australia Post. For the properties of other barcode types, see "Barcode type and properties" on
page554.
Height, width and spacing
The height, width and spacing of the barcode are all measured in pixels (38 dpi).
l
Bar height: the height of the (shorter) bars.
l
Extended bar height: the total height of the extended bars.
l
Bar width: the width of the bars.
l
Spacing: the distance between the bars.
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.
Add Checksum
When checked, PlanetPress Connect will calculate a Checksum character and add that to the
result of the Barcode script. If the value to be encoded is longer than 10 digits, a second check
character will be calculated.
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).
