Swiss QR Code
The Swiss QR Code is a specific sub-set of QR barcode standards and is one of the several
types of barcodes that can be added to a template; see "Barcode" on page193.
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.
Instead of using the Script wizard (see "Adding a Barcode" on page194) you could write your
own script to get the data for the QR Code.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties available for Swiss QR barcodes. For the properties of other
