8.7.1.4.1 Bar code settings: Bar code format
Please see Figure 162
To open the dialog box
(3)
with the format options for the bar code type selected push
the
<Barcode Format>
button
(2)
on the
<Barcode settings
> tab
(1)
.
1-D bar codes can either have a 2-width-symbology or a many-width-symbology
(Symbology: rules about how bars and spaces are structured).
A bar code with a 2-width-symbology uses only two widths for bars and spaces: wide
and narrow. The width and spaces of barcodes with a many-width-symbology are all
multiples of a basic width called the
module
; most such codes use four widths of 1, 2, 3
and 4
modules
.
Within the
<Barcode format>
dialog box the bars
(4)
and spaces
(5)
are called
Elements
(Elem.)
. The elements are defined by the number strokes per bar or per space. A
stroke
is one vertical print movement.
The width of a bar or a space is
defined by the number of strokes. For
bar codes with a 2-width-symbology
only the element 1 and element 2 will
be used for the bar code. Settings for
element 3 and 4 will be ignored for
that kind of bar code.
