Human Readable Message
When this option is checked, PrintShop Mail Connect shows a human readable text below or
above the barcode, as defined using the Text Position, using the specified font and font size.
The font size is given in points (pt).
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).
Output format
Defines how the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
l
SVG: Vector format. This is smaller in size, but not compatible with Email output.
l
PNG: Binary rasterized format. This is slightly larger than SVG but will display properly in
Email output.
OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail, Australia Post
OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail and Australia Post are some of the types of barcodes that can
be added to a template; see "Barcode" on page168.

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.
