Height (or Max. Height): The height of a barcode can vary. For most symbologies you can
specify an exact height with a minimum of 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). For symbologies that are
composed of tiny squares, such as Datamatrix, the maximum height is specified.
Bar Width: This changes the thickness of the bars and spaces within the barcode, which
in turn lengthens or shortens the barcode. Set the width, in pixels (dots), of the narrowest
bar of a barcode. (Not available for some symbologies such as QR and Datamatrix.)
Ratio: The ratio of a barcode is the relationship of narrow elements to wide elements,
where elements are the bars and spaces.
Human Readable: Human readable text is the data entered that makes up the barcode.
Because you cannot read bars and spaces, you can display the actual text that makes up
the barcode. Human Readable text can be placed above or below the barcode symbology,
or you can choose to not display it.
If you choose to display the human readable text, a field for the text size becomes
available. Choose a size for the human readable barcode text.
Check Digit: A check digit is used for error detection in a barcode. It consists of a single
digit computed from the other digits in the barcode. A check mark in the Check Digit box
turns the function on.
