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104.
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 barcode types Code 39 and Code 39 extended. For the
properties of other barcode types, see "Barcode type and properties" on page106.
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
separator 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.
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.
