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.
Supplement
UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN-8 may all include an additional barcode to the right of the
main barcode.
l
Type: The supplement type can be 2-digit (originally used to indicate the edition of a
magazine or periodical) or 5-digit (used to indicate the suggested retail price for books). In
case this option is set to None, and the data includes digits for the 2 or 5 supplement, the
supplement data will be skipped and the additional barcode will not be rendered.
Note
When the chosen supplement type doesn't match the data, the supplement data will
be skipped and the additional barcode will not be rendered.
l
Height Factor: This is the relative height of the supplement's bars compared to the
normal bars.
l
Space Before : Defines the space between the main symbol and the supplement, in cm.
