Barcode object properties

The Barcode object is intended for printing a bar code or QR-code on an employee pass card.

To open the properties window for the Barcode object, see the Editing objects properties in the Template Editor section. As a result the following window opens.

Bar code settings

First of all, select the Format of the bar/QR-code:

1. AZTEC
2. CODABAR
3. CODE_39
4. CODE_93
5. CODE_128
6. DATA_MATRIX
7. EAN_8
8. EAN_13
9. ITF
10. PDF_417
11. QR_CODE
12. UPC_A
13. UPC_E
14. MSI
15. PLESSEY

Then enter any string in the Example field and see how it displays in the template. The example string should correspond to the typical string that may be stored in the selected Database field, and to the rules for the selected Format. For example, if you select Predefined Database field Surname, enter some characters in the Example field and see how it looks on your template, adjust the size of the bar/QR code accordingly etc. If you select the Format which does not support such characters, the Format field is highlighted in red indicating the error in the tooltip. In this case, either change Format or Database field.
