Barcode Object

The most commonly known barcodes are composed of a sequence of vertical bars and spaces varying in width. Some barcodes use start and stop characters, which are defined as patterns of bars and spaces that tell the barcode reader where the code begins and ends. Others have a checksum, which is an integer value that the reader can use to verify the integrity of the barcode data. Some include human readable characters below the bars.

With PrintShop Mail you can add a variety of barcodes to your documents. For detailed descriptions of each one of the options offered by specific barcodes, or for background information on barcodes, refer the documentation provided by individual barcode suppliers.

To add a barcode:

  1. Create a new document or open an existing document.
  2. Click the Barcode tool in the toolbar to insert a new barcode. The barcode object shows a default barcode.

To change the barcode properties, see Barcode Properties.
