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.
Output format
Defines how the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
l SVG: Vector format. This is usually of higher quality, but may take longer to generate and
is not compatible with Email output.
l PNG: Binary rasterized format. This has a slightly lower quality than SVG but is usually
generated faster and will display properly in Email output.
Code 11, Code 93, Industrial 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5
Code 11, Code 93, Industrial 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, and Matrix 2 of 5 are a few of the
barcode types that can be added to a template.
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194.
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 barcodes of these types process tilde characters (~) in the data as special characters.
See the Java4less Barcodes Guide to learn what the tilde character can be used for.
