Barcodes

69 selectable 1D/2D barcode items, including beta

69 is the number of items in the actual selection menu. It includes beta items as well as both legacy-compatible and improved NEW variants, so it is not the same as the number of distinct international standards.

You can create 1D/2D barcodes such as CODE128, EAN13, QR, Data Matrix, GS1 and Food QR. Beta items are also included in the supported list. After printing, check that the barcodes read correctly with the scanner you actually use.

  • Barcode type — Search to switch directly to a different type.
  • Data — The value encoded in the barcode. EAN13 accepts only 13 digits, EAN8 only 8 digits and UPC-A only 12 digits; a warning appears if the value doesn't match.
  • Barcode width — Adjusts bar thickness (module) in printer dots / Height — 5–100 mm
  • Barcode values are entered only in the properties panel, not by double-clicking.

You can change the position, font, size and alignment of the digits and characters shown below (or above) the barcode, or hide them entirely.

QR codes and other 2D barcodes

QR Code properties
QR Code properties
  • Module size — The size of one dot (mm). The smaller it is, the denser the code.
  • Error correction level — L (7%) / M (15%) / Q (25%) / H (30%). A higher level is recommended if labels are likely to get dirty.

GS1 barcodes

For the GS1 family, such as GS1-128, GS1 QR and GS1 Data Matrix, use the Configure GS1 data… button to build the value by combining AIs (Application Identifiers).

GS1 data settings — combining AI codes
GS1 data settings — combining AI codes

Select AI codes such as (01) GTIN product code, (10) lot number, (17) expiration date and (21) serial number, and enter their values. A GS1 code that meets the specification is generated and validated automatically.

Food QR

Food QR settings (GS1 Digital Link)
Food QR settings (GS1 Digital Link)
  • Supports the Food QR (foodqr.kr) specification of Korea's National Food Safety Information Service.
  • (01) Product code is required — if you enter 12 digits, the check digit is calculated automatically.
  • You can add application identifiers such as use-by date (17) and serial number (21), and set whether and where the FoodQR logo is shown.
When you change the resolution (DPI), the bar thickness and module size of all barcodes are recalculated automatically for the new DPI. Don't forget to do a scan test before printing.
