Bar Code Wizard
69
The overall size of the bar code is determined by the symbology selected, number of characters in the code, and the
height as specified on the Properties page of the Bar Code Wizard. This size cannot be changed without editing the
bar code in the Wizard and changing one of these settings.
If a bar code symbol cannot fit in the label, a warning message will appear and the bar code will not be inserted into
the label. When the Bar Code Wizard is run again, the previous values you entered will be available. Changes can be
made to the values to try to reduce the bar code in size.
To edit a bar code created by the Text data source, double-click on the bar code symbol to be edited, and the Bar
Code Wizard will launch with the values for the bar code pre-populated. If you click Cancel on the Wizard, the Wizard
will close with no changes made to the bar code.
Series Data Source
When you click Finish on the Bar Code Wizard after entering the data for the series, all bar codes in the series will be
created and inserted into the document in the same manner that text series are inserted. This means that existing
labels will have the series bar codes inserted at the corresponding point as the cursor in the selected label. As many
labels as are needed to hold the series will be modified.
To edit a bar code series, double-click on any bar code in the series to open the Bar Code Wizard with the values pre-
populated.
Data Import Data Source
When you click Finish on the Bar Code Wizard, all bar codes will be created and inserted into the existing labels of the
document at the cursor position.
Each bar code created by the data import exists as an individual bar code, so double-clicking on one will only edit that
single bar code.
