GS1-128
GS1-128 is one of the types of barcodes that can be added to a template; see Barcode.
The barcode can be added either using the Barcode toolbar button or through selecting Insert > Barcode on the menu; see Adding a Barcode.
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 type on the shortcut menu.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode type GS1-128. For the properties of other barcode types, see Barcode properties.
Module width
Specifies
the width of the narrow bars in centimeters. Changing this value to
a higher value will make the barcode bigger when Scale is set to None.
Scale
Defines if and how
the rendered barcode is scaled in relation to the parent element:
- None: The barcode is rendered
based on the module width.
- Fit to box: The barcode
is stretched to fit the parent box in both width and height.
- Proportionally: The barcode
is stretched up to where it fits either the width or height of the parent box, whichever
requires the less stretching.
Add Checksum
When checked,
PrintShop Mail Connect will
calculate a Checksum character and add that to the result of the Barcode script. If the value to be encoded is longer
than 10 digits, a second check character will be calculated.
Human Readable Message
When this option is checked, PrintShop Mail Connect shows a human readable text below or above the barcode, as defined using the Text Position, using the specified font and font size. The font size is given in points (pt).
Color
The Color property 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).
Output format
Defines how
the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
- SVG: Vector format. This is
smaller in size, but not compatible with Email output.
- PNG: Binary rasterized
format. This is slightly larger than SVG but will display properly
in Email output.
