Inserting a Barcode

You can add one of the following barcode types to your label:

Code 128	Code 39	Code 39 w/Mod 43
Codabar	EAN 8	EAN 13
UPC A	PDF 417	QR code

• The information covered here assumes that you already understand the differences between barcode types 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 online, at local libraries, and at book stores.

By default the barcode text appears below the barcode. You can choose to show the text above the barcode or hide the text. Showing barcode text is not available for PDF 417 and QR codes. Optionally, you can add text before and after the barcode.

The default barcode type is Code 128. You can change the default barcode under Settings.

• Drag from the Insert toolbar to the label to place the barcode exactly where you want it to appear.
