UPC-A, UPC-E, and Composite 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.
Note: If using UPC-E, provide data on which zero suppression has already been performed.
Note: Composite barcodes have a 2D portion followed by a linear portion. In the barcode data, the 2D portion appears first and is followed by a composite delimiter (|) and then the linear portion.
| 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. |
| Input Format |
Establishes whether the input length is a 6 or 12 digit value. This property works in conjunction with the Extension property, allowing for input lengths of 6, 8, 11, 12, 14, or 17. Note: This property affects Max Chars. Note: This property is NOT only available for |
6 digit 12 digit |
|
Extension |
Whether a 2 or 5 digit extension is to be used. UPC extensions are used to extend the range of available part numbers that can be encoded. Note: This property affects Max Chars. |
None +2 +5 |
|
Human Readable |
Whether a text representation of the barcode is printed. The human readable text is in a fixed position below the barcode. |
None Fixed Below |
|
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:
