Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode type Postnet. For the properties of other barcode
types, see "Barcode type and properties" on page179.
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.
Bar height
You can set the height (in cm) of the short bars and the tall bars in the Postnet barcode.
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.
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 group 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).
When black is a composite of CMYK or RGB values, it may incur a color click charge on some
printers. Check the Output in Grayscale option to make sure that pure black is used.
