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.
Checksum Type
The Checksum type can be MSI10, MSI11, MSI1010 or MSI1110; see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSI_Barcode.
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).
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
Defines how the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
l
SVG: Vector format. This is usually of higher quality, but may take longer to generate and
is not compatible with Email output.
l
PNG: Binary rasterized format. This has a slightly lower quality than SVG but is usually
generated faster and will display properly in Email output.
PDF417
PDF417 is one of the types of barcodes that can be added to a template; see "Barcode" on
page618.
