8.7.1.4.1 Bar code settings: Bar code format

Please see Figure 162
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.

EAN13 code with only 5 numbers. Recognized
as wrong code and crossed out.
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.
