Bar Code display style applies a bar code format to the Placeholder value. This allows Placeholder values to be displayed as bar code images.

Note:

It is considered a best practice to familiarize yourself with a bar code standard before using it as a display format. For example, ensure the selected bar code type is compatible with potential Placeholder values. Each bar code type adheres to a specific character set.

To configure Bar Code display style:

  1. On the Display Style dialog box, select Bar Code.
  2. From the Please select a Bar Code Format drop-down list, select a bar code format from the following:

    • Code 3 of 9

      Note:

      The following characters are valid for a Placeholder using the Code 3 of 9 bar code Display Style: A- Z, 0- 9, -, +, ., $, /, %, and spaces. Invalid characters are removed from the Placeholder value when the template is composed.

    • Code 128

    • Data Matrix

    • EAN-128

    • PDF417

    • QR code

    When Code 3 of 9, Code 128, EAN-128, or PDF417 is selected:

    1. Click Continue.
    2. Enter the appropriate Width and Height values for the bar code image in pixels. Values must be between 2 and 1,500.
      By default, Auto is displayed in these fields, indicating that the system determines the appropriate width and height at the time of composition.
    3. To prevent the Placeholder value from being displayed with the bar code, select Hide Barcode Text.

      By default, the Placeholder value is displayed with the bar code.

      Note:

      The Hide Bar Code Text option does not apply to PDF417 bar codes. These bar codes do not have the option to include text.

      When Data Matrix or QR code is selected:

    4. Click Continue.
    5. Enter the appropriate Height & Width for the bar code image in pixels. The value must be between 2 and 1,500. The value is applied to both the width and height, as these bar code formats are square in shape.
      By default, Auto is displayed in this field, indicating that the system determines the appropriate width and height at the time of composition.
  3. Click Finish.
  4. Click Save Template.
