Printing Using a PC

When you change the barcode dimension directly from the

screen by moving the drag handle, the changed dimension will

also appear in this dialog box.
Some of the barcode types also allow the definition of Narrow-

to-wide bar ratio. It can only be set from the predefined steps

in the pull-down menu - 1:2, 1:3 or 2:5.
Base element width (mils) is calculated automatically from the

X expansion factor.
v. The Check Digit Tab will allow you to include a system

automated check digits or enter your own. Check digits

can be disabled on some barcodes from this tab as well.

vi. The

Human Readable Tab

allows you to manipulate the

human readable text printed with your barcode. Here you

can disable Human Readable, select position (above or

below the barcode), include a check digit, and choose your

font type and scaling.

vii. The Details Tab allows you to set some further details of

the barcode presentations on the printer. These settings are

listed here:
Include Quiet Zones will enable the software to automati-

cally create the necessary amount of free space before and

after the barcode symbol by drawing an unprintable buffer

area around the barcode symbol on the screen.
Descender Bars allows EAN 13, EAN 8, UPC A and UPC

E to print longer first, middle and last bars when this

option is selected.
Mirror Horizontally will allow the barcode to be printed

as a graphic and will so it can be mirrored over the

horizontal axis.
Mirror Vertically allows the barcode to be printed as a

graphic so it can be mirrored over the vertical axis.
Intercharacter Gap: Some barcodes allow you to change

the gap between characters in the barcode (e. g. Code-39).

The barcode prints as a graphic.
Include EAN white space: A special character is inserted

before and/or after the barcode. It indicates the width of

the barcode. If you place any other object in the extent of

the barcode, it will reduce the readability of the barcode.

This option is valid for EAN barcode types.
