* **GS1-128 Barcode**: This is implemented with a UCC128 soft font. The barcode string must contain any application identifier without the usual bracketing parenthesis. The application identifier and the barcode data must be in one contiguous mapped field, no embedded blanks. The checksum character is calculated by iDocs and should not be part of the barcode string. No human readible output is generated, just the barcode. Human readible output should be created by mapping the barcode string again with appropriate formatting. | * **GS1-128 Barcode**: This is implemented with a UCC128 soft font.

+ | Scalable barcodes are barcodes which are created using the IFDJAVA.JAR file with options to control the height and width of the barcodes depending on the type of barcode. Scalable barcodes include 2D and 3D barcodes like QR codes. To use scalable barcodes additional registration codes are required for each of the barcode types. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To use scalable barcodes: Create a new Mapped Field or select a current Mapped Field with option 1 to Edit. Helpful Note: The value to create the barcode will come from the spool file text values from the From Row, To Row, From Column, and To Column. Also, the Horizontal Position (X Location) and Vertical Position (Y Location) will control where the barcode will appear on the document. Place the cursor on the Scaling Barcode field and select with F4 to select At this point, you will have a list of available scalable barcodes to select. Once you select the scalable barcode, enter a value for the Height parameter; a value for the Module Wid parameter; and a value for the Human Readable Text parameter. Helpful Note: The Module Wid parameter value is the width of the bars, suggest you try .02 as a value to start. Once you save the Mapped Field, test it | ||
