codetypes,see"Barcodetypeandproperties"onpage574.
Module width
Specifiesthewidthofthenarrowbarsincentimeters.Changingthisvaluetoahighervaluewillmake
thebarcodebiggerwhenScaleissettoNone.
Inter Character Gap
Twoadjacentcharactersareseparatedbyaninter-charactergap.Avalueof1meansthatthesep-
aratorwillhavethesamelengthasthewidthofthenarrowbars(incentimeters).
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.
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.)
Thetildeisexpectedtobefollowedbythe'd'characterand3digitsrepresentinganASCIIcharacter:
~dNNN.Forexample,~d013representsacarriagereturn.
Notethatwiththisoptionchecked,anytildethatneedstobeincludedintheoutputmustbeescapedby
addinganothertilde:~~.
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.
