Mode
PrintShop Mail Connect supports several modes; for an explanation of these modes see the
MaxiCode page on Wikipedia.
Color
The Color property allows you to choose a different Barcode color (instead of black) and
Background color (instead of white), by typing a hexadecimal color value (see for example
w3school's color picker).
MSI
MSI is one of the types of barcodes that can be added to a template; see "Barcode" on
page106.
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107.
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 type MSI. For the properties of other barcode types,
see "Barcode type and properties" on page109.
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.
