You can add barcodes to the PageOUT sheet. The barcode data is either retrieved from the input data via a Field object, or added as a Static Text object. The composition of the barcode data, and allowed characters, depends on the type of barcode you intend to use.
The barcode field (Field or Static Text object) contains the barcode data as a string of characters. To create the actual barcode symbology, you must enable barcodes for the field, and select the appropriate barcode type.

The specification of a barcode symbology includes the encoding of the single characters of the barcode data, the start and stop markers, the size of the quiet zone required before and after the barcode, and the computation of a checksum.
When output is delivered using PCL, Postscript, PDF, and AFP drivers, StreamServer creates the barcode symbology.
When output is delivered using label printer drivers, the label printer creates the barcode symbology. In this case, StreamServer delivers the information to be included in the barcode, the coordinates where to add the barcode, and the type of barcode to use.
The width and height of the barcode in the output document depends on the specified barcode properties. There are a number of one-dimensional barcodes, where you can resize the height directly on the PageOUT sheet. For information whether the height is fixed or can be resized, see the corresponding barcode specification.

If you have upgraded a Project from Persuasion SP2, SP3, or SP4, the height of these barcodes may not be correctly displayed in the PageOUT tool. To display them correctly, see To display barcodes correctly in design-time for upgraded Projects.
In the Design Center platform export configuration, the argument
-alternativebarcode will be automatically set for Projects upgraded from SP2, SP3, or SP4. This means the output will by default be correct, independently of this PageOUT tool setting. |
