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 type on the shortcut menu.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the following barcode types :
l Code 11
l Code 93
l Code 93 extended
l Industrial 2 of 5
l Interleaved 2 of 5
l Matrix 2 of 5
For the properties of other barcode types, see "Barcode properties" on page 79.
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.
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.
l
Proportionally: 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, PrintShop Mail 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.
Human Readable Message
When this option is checked, PrintShop Mail 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).
