Creating Barcode Fields

Many industrial shipping labels require one or more barcodes to help speed up the receiving process.To

demonstrate the barcode capability of Loftware Label Manager, we will add a barcode to the sample

label just below the shipping address.The barcode is used to identify a Part Number.A barcode may be

created by using the Barcode tool or the Insert | Barcode menu command.

Creating a Barcode Field

Select the Barcode tool .

2. Position the cursor about 1/2 inch below and 2 inches to the right of the Country field, and click

the left mouse button.

3. Change the barcode’s Field Name property to PartNo.

Note: When a new barcode field is added to the label, a human readable interpretive field is also shown.These

fields are treated as separate fields as far as label design is concerned but always automatically reflect the data

that goes into the barcode field. If the data for the human readable field needs to be formatted differently from

the barcode data, choose None in the barcodes Human Readable property and create a normal text field in

its place.You may then use a Formula data source to format the barcode data.

Editing a Barcode Field

Although barcode properties differ from text field properties, the methods for editing both types of fields

are the same. Up until now, we have always changed the properties of fields using the Properties box.

However, it is also possible to edit some properties by resizing the field with the mouse. To demonstrate

this, change the barcode using the mouse as follows:

To change the height of the barcode

1. Place the cursor over the top center selection handle of the barcode field. When the cursor is

positioned properly, a resize cursor is displayed.

2. Press and hold the left mouse button.

3. Drag the resize cursor straight up, about 1/4-inch; release the left mouse button.

To change the width of the barcode, use the same procedure

1. Place the cursor over the right center selection handle of the barcode field.When the cursor is

positioned properly, the resize cursor is displayed.

2. Press and hold the left mouse button.

3. Drag the resize cursor to the right until the resize rectangle jumps to the next available size;

release the left mouse button.
