Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode type Aztec. For the properties of other barcode
types, see "Barcode properties" on page 79.
Module size
Enter the size of the square modules in pixels
Configuration type
Use the drop-down to select the format type used when creating the barcode: only full range
format, only compact formats, or any format.
Preferred configuration
Use the drop-down to select the preferred format for the barcode. Note that the barcode
generator may choose a different format if the data cannot be represented by the preferred
format.
Encoding
Use the drop-down to select the encoding type:
l
Normal can encode any character but is not very efficient for encoding binary values
(above 128)
l
Binary is to be used only if the data contains many bytes/characters above 128.
Error Correction Level
This option reserves a percentage of the symbol capacity for error correction. The
recommended percentage for this type of barcode is 23.
Rune
When set to a value between 0 and 255, an Aztec Rune corresponding to the selected value is
created. Set the Rune to -1 to disable this feature.
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.
