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631.
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... option in the context menu.
Note that this type of barcode doesn't process tilde characters (~) in the data as special
characters.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode type Royal Mail 4-State (CBC). For the properties
of other barcode types, see "Barcode type and properties" on page633.
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 Proportional: 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.
