Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII Properties

The following properties are specific to this barcode symbology. On the Home tab, they are displayed in the Barcode section when a barcode with this symbology is selected. Additionally, barcode fields using this symbology have properties that are common to all barcode fields. Those properties are displayed in the Properties pane. For more information, see Common Properties for Barcodes.

Code 39 Full ASCII is also known as Code 39 Extended (Ext).

Property Description Values

Bar Height

The height of the bars in the barcode.

Value is dependent on the unit of measure for the label template.

Check Digit

Add an optional check digit to the barcode.

The listed check digits are optional forms of the selected symbology (For Example: Code 39 or Code 39 with check).

Special purpose check digits can be added to the barcode using the Formula data source.

Note: When a form that includes a check digit is used, the Data ProviderClosed Person or process that enters data into a form or other data entry view for a label that was configured by a Designer. A user acting as a Data Provider requires the DOCUMENT_PRINTER role or equivalent permissions. is not alerted if the check digit fails.

Data Identifier

Data entered in this field will be encoded in the barcode but will not print in the human readable text field for the barcode.

Data Identifiers are used to help the scanner identify the field.

For Example

For an AIAG label, a barcode with a data identifier of P contains a part number, a data identifier of Q signifies a quantity field and a data identifier of S signifies a serial number field.

 

Human Readable

Whether a text representation of the barcode is printed.

The human readable text can be positioned anywhere on the label (free floating).

None

Free Floating

Line X-Dim

The X-dimension or width of the narrowest bar in the barcode. The range of values available depends on the Document DPI of the label template. For example, a label template with a Document DPI of 203 has Line X-Dim values in increments of 4.9 mil (1000 mil / 203 dpi).

Thousandths of an inch (mil) in fixed increments

Line X-Dim Round

Whether to round up, down, or to the nearest dpi if the selected X-dimension value is not available at print time due to a different dpi on the device.

For example, to print to a 600 dpi device, the x-dimension must be an increment of 1.7 mil (1000 mil / 600 dpi), such as 1.7, 3.4, 5.1, 6.8 and so on. If a label template with a 203 document dpi containing a barcode with a 4.9 X-dimension is printed to a 600 dpi device, the following X-dimension is applied:

  • Nearest: 5.1
  • Up: 5.1
  • Down: 3.4

Nearest

Up

Down

Ratio

The ratio of the wide bar to the narrow bar. The ratio can be used to create intermediate sizes between different X-dimensions.

For Example

For Ratio 3.0:1, the wide bars are three times the size of the narrow bars.

2.0:1 to 3.0:1 in fixed increments

Show Start/Stop

 Specifies if the Start/Stop character (*) is to be displayed in the human readable text for the barcode.

Yes/No
