Brady label maker manual Setting bar code content

The Bar Code screen has five tabs. When you add a bar code, you’ll use the Content and Dimension tabs. The remaining tabs -- General, Size and Location, and Font -- are mainly used to change default settings for bar codes (see Editing bar codes on page 7-21).

Setting bar code content

Use the Content tab to set these options:

Symbology	Select a symbology code from this list box.
	Symbologies are universal bar code formats.
	This system supports these symbologies:
	•	Code 128 Auto
	•	Code 39
	•	Interleaved 2-of-5
Data value	Specify a data value for the bar code here.
	The symbology codes limit the data to a
	specific number of characters:
	Symbology		Max. # Characters
	Code 128 Auto		2-50
	Code 39		2-50
	Interleaved 2-of-5		2-50
	• If you enter an incorrect number of
		characters in the Data value field, a
		message prompts you for a corrected
		value.
	• If you enter invalid characters in the Data
		value field, you’ll see a message telling
		you so.
Human-readable	Select the placement of the text that people
text	can read (as opposed to machine-readable
	code). You can choose:
	•	No text
	• Text above bar code
	• Text below bar code (the default)
