these options won't apply to the Additional Content added to the physical N-
Up sheet.
l
Left: Enter the distance between the left margin of the page and the Barcode, in
either metric (cm/mm), inch (in) or point (pt) values.
l
Bottom: Enter the distance between the bottom margin of the page and the
Barcode, in either metric (cm/mm), inch (in) or point (pt) values.
l
PDF417 Properties group:
l
Module Width: Specifies the width of the narrow bars. Changing this value to a
higher value will generally make the Barcode bigger.
l
Row height: Defines the height of the bars for a single row, measured in pixels,
points or metric.
l
Width to height ratio: Select the ratio of column width to row height.
l
Mode: Use the drop-down to set the compaction mode.
l
Binary: allows any byte value to be encoded.
l
Text: allows all printable ASCII characters to be end coded (ASCIIvalues 32
to 126 and some additional control characters).
l
Numeric: more efficient mode for encoding numeric data.
l
Auto: Automatically detect the data content and encodes using the most
appropriate method. This is the default option.
l
Error Correction Level: Enter the error correction level for the built-in error
correction method based on Reed-Solomon algorithms. The error correction level is
adjustable between level 0 (just error detection, without correction) and level 8
(maximum error correction). Recommended error correction levels are between
level 2 and 5, but the optimal value depends on the amount of data, printing quality
of the PDF417 symbol and decoding capabilities.
l
Rows: A PDF417 bar code can have anywhere from 3 to 90 rows.
l
Columns: The number of data columns can vary from 1 to 30.
l
Tilde processing
Check this option to process tilde characters in the data as special characters. (See the
Java4less Barcodes Guide to learn what the tilde character can be used for.)
