8.7.1.4.1 Bar code settings: Bar code format
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.
There are three basic <Styles> and one user defined <Style> available (9). With
default settings the bars and spaces become wider with an increasing <Element>
number. E.g. with the basic <Style> <Fine> the bars and spaces of <Elem.1>
consist of one stroke and the bars and spaces of <Elem. 4> consist of 4 strokes.
Therefore <Elem. 4> has four times the width of <Elem. 1>.
Each style provides different widths.
