POSTNET
POSTNET is one of the barcode types that can be added to a template; see "Barcode" on
page196.
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196.
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... option in the context menu.
Note that this type of barcode processes tilde characters (~) in the data as special characters.
See the Java4less Barcodes Guide to learn what the tilde character can be used for.
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198.
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.
