On this tab, you can define advanced settings for the bar code.
Note • Not all of these options are available for all bar codes and printers.
Include quiet zones: Check this field if you want the bar code to have some white space in the
front and in the end for increased readability.
Descender bars: Some bars of a bar code will be longer than others. This is typically used
with EAN and UPC bar codes that have longer bars in the beginning, in the middle and in the
end of the bar code.
Mirror horizontally/mirror vertically: The bar code can be mirrored vertically and horizontally.
The bar code will usually have to be printed as a graphic for this option to be accessible.
Intercharacter gap: Some bar codes allow you to change the gap between characters in the bar
code (e. g. Code-39).
Include EAN white space: Before and after the bar code, a white space is inserted or not, as
desired. It indicates the width of the bar code. If you put any other object in the area of the bar
code, it will reduce the readability of the bar code. This option is valid only for EAN bar
codes.
