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.

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:

Normal can encode any character but is not very efficient for encoding binary values
(above 128)
