Barcode Properties & Functions

Autosizing - this option allows you to specify whether SmartCodeWebControl will automatically adjust the bar width to fit to the barcode's bounding box. If set to Yes, the bar width will be calculated automatically based on he bounding box provided. If set to No, the NarrowBarWidth property will need to be specified.

Note - When the Extension property is used, AutoSizing will default to (or switch to) Yes automatically. This behaviour in SmartCodeWebControl ensures that the spacing between the Main barcode and Extension barcode adheres to industry specifications.

BarcodeData - the data to be encoded as Barcode. Supports both text and numbers up to a maximum of 255 characters. A minimun of 1 digit is required, otherwise a default string will be used.

BarRatio - the ratio of the Thick Bar to the Thin Bar. Only values from 2-3 are allowed. For some barcodes, the ratio is fixed according to industry specifications and this value will be ignored.

BoundaryZoneX - this option allows you to create a boundary in the X-axis of the barcode. The range of values supported is from 0 to 2880. It will default to 150 if set incorrectly. It is specified in TWIPS(1/1440 of an inch). To specify this value in millimeters or inches, see the Barcode Units category.

BoundaryZoneY - this option allows you to create a boundary in the X-axis of the barcode. The range of values supported is from 0 to 2880. It will default to 150 if set incorrectly. It is specified in TWIPS(1/1440 of an inch). To specify this value in millimeters or inches, see the Barcode Units category.

DisplayCheckBar - this option allows you to specify whether to generate a check digit in the barcode. It is only applicable to certain barcodes. The check digit appears as data in the barcode itself. Some barcode symbologies require the check digit to be always generated.

DisplayCheckDigitText - whether to include the check digit in the barcode text. The check digit is a digit added to a barcode to help verify that it has been scanned correctly. The check digit is calculated based on the value of the barcode's other digits and helps to ensure that the scanned data is correct.

Display Text - whether to display the human readable data on the barcode if applicable.

NarrowBarWidth - This option allows you to specify the narrow bar width of the barcode when AutoSizing is set to No. It is specified in TWIPS(1/1440 of an inch). The range of values supported is from 0 to 720. It will default to 20 if set incorrectly. To specify this value in millimeters or inches, see the Barcode Units category.

Resolution - Default is 0. The highest resolution will be used for printing. If the printer supports a specific Dots per Inch or resolution(e.g. 300dpi), key in the value 300. Once a value is set for the DPI, SmartCodeWebControl will automatically adjust the barcode size to ensure that it adheres to industry specifications when resizing. If a low dpi is used (e.g. 96) the barcode will increase it's sizes in noticeable 'steps' to ensure that it is scannable when printed. If an extension(UPCEXT2 or UPCEXT5) is applied to a barcode, the value 0 will be used for this property.

The range of values supported is from 96 to 1440. It will default to 0 if set incorrectly.

Rotation - This option allows you to rotate the barcode. The lower left corner is used as the point of rotation.

Symbology - The barcode symbology to encode. Possible values include EAN13, RATIONALCODABAR, CODE128, CODE128A, CODE128B, CODE128C, CODE93, UPCA, ISSN, ISBN, UCCEAN128, UPCE, UPCEXT2, UPCEXT5, POSTNET, CODE39ASCII, EAN8, S2OF5, I2OF5, CODE39, MSI.
