Barcode

In PrintShop Mail Connect Designer, you can add a variety of barcodes to your template. The

supported Barcode types include 1d barcodes (the striped ones) and 2d barcodes (encoded

horizontally and vertically).

Adding a Barcode

Note

When generating Print output, you can add extra barcodes and OMR marks. The reason why you

would do this, is that at merge time more information is available about the actual output document.

The page count, for example, is not available at design time.

To add barcodes and OMR marks on the fly when generating Print output, select File > Print and

check the option Add additional content (see "Additional Content" on page 394) in the Print

Wizard. To have this done automatically, save this and other output options in an Output Creation

Preset: select File > Print presets > Output Creation Settings (see "Output Creation

Settings" on page 444).

Before adding a Barcode, load data or at least a Data Model; see "Loading data" on page221.

You will need the field names when adding the Barcode. Then, to add a Barcode to a section,

Master Page or snippet:

Select Insert > Barcode on the menu or click the Barcode toolbar button

2. Choose the desired barcode type. The list is divided between 1d and 2d barcodes.

An ID is required. You can change the given ID and, optionally, add a class.

Check the option Absolute to insert the barcode in an absolute-positioned box inside the

<body> of the HTML, but outside other elements. Alternatively, use the Location drop-

down to select where to insert the Barcode.

At cursor position inserts it where the cursor is located in the template.

Before element inserts it before the HTML element in which the cursor is currently

located. For example if the cursor is within a paragraph, the insertion point will be

before the <p> tag.*

After start tag inserts it within the current HTML element, at the beginning, just after

the start tag.*
