Bar Code Content

Code: The data value used to create the symbol for the bar code. The code must meet the requirements for a

selected symbology standard (e.g., UPC symbologies only support numeric codes).

By default, Text will be chosen as the data source, and the Code field will be enabled. If Text is chosen as the data

source for the bar codes, the Code field allows you to enter the code for the bar code symbol.

Supplement Code: By default, the Supplement Code field is disabled. If a UPC or EAN symbology is selected and a

Supplement Symbology is selected, the Supplement Code field is enabled, allowing the user to enter additional

characters for the symbol.

Preview: This area of the screen will contain a live preview of the barcode if Text is selected as the data source and a

valid code for the selected symbology has been entered in the Code (and optionally, the supplement) field. This

preview is scaled to fill the preview area and may not represent the actual size of the final bar code.
