Adding a Barcode Object

In addition to Intelligent Mail barcodes for addresses, you can also create labels that include
barcodes based on many other barcode formats or symbologies. You can choose from Code 39
(also called "Code 3 of 9"), Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC, EAN, UCC/EAN 128, ITF-14, and
Codabar barcodes.
Note This documentation assumes that you already understand the differences between barcode
symbologies and have a plan in place to incorporate barcodes into your organization. If you need
to learn more about barcodes, many excellent How to books are available at local libraries and
book stores.
You can add barcodes that display a fixed piece of information or you can link a barcode to another
piece of information on the label. You can link a barcode to a Counter, Text, or Address object so
that the barcode reflects the contents of that object.
For example, if you link a Text object that contains part numbers, to a barcode designed to encode
the part number, the barcode will encode the number entered in the Text object. If you change the
part number in the Text object, the barcode will automatically update to reflect the change.
