Barcodes

You configure barcodes in PageOUT or StoryTeller. Supported barcodes are listed in Table 1.

Comments

•	Barcodes, like text, can only be rotated 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. Any other angle will result in 0 degrees rotation in the printed output.

•	Exact positioning of barcodes which are rotated any other angle than 0 degrees, is supported only for 1-dimensional barcodes.

•	All features are not available for all barcode types. If an option is not available in the Barcode dialog box, the default value, as specified in the ZPLII Programming Guide, is used.

•	For the Maxicode barcode, the encoding mode is determined by the data content. Only modes 2, 3, and 4 are supported. No structural append is available.

•	For the UPC-E barcode, the length of the input data must be 11 or 12 digits with a pre-calculated checksum. The checksum must be in the same format as data for UPC-A. The system ID digit must be 0.

•	For the QR Code barcode, Quiet Zone is not supported. This means Use Quiet Zone must be set to No when this barcode is configured in PageOUT/StoryTeller.
