Changing a Barcode

BradyPrinter S3100 Sign & Label Printer User's Manual
Barcodes are generated following industry standard symbology. A typical barcode
is composed of vertial lines (bars) and spaces of varying thickness, depending on
the text entered. It can also include human readable text. Human readable text is
the data entered from which the barcode is generated. Because you cannot read
bars and spaces, you can display the text used to generate the barcode as well.
Barcode elements support vertical resizing (height) only. The width of the barcode
is based on data and symbology and cannot be changed. However, some
barcode widths, depending on the symbology used, can be altered by changing
the ratio and density of the barcode.
Barcode data can be displayed in the same line as other data (text or symbols). It
is not necessary to have a separate area for the barcode. Barcode data on the
same line as text is placed next to the text rather than overwriting the text.
Like other object elements on the printer, barcode elements can be positioned,
aligned, and rotated.
This section covers making changes to a barcode that is already on the label. For
information on adding a barcode, see "Barcode Objects" on page 41.
