Working with barcodes
Barcode overview
Darwin supports one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D)
barcodes.
Among the many types of 1-D barcodes that Darwin supports are Code
11, Code 39, EAN-8, EAN-13, and Code 128.
Darwin supports the following types of 2-D barcodes:
● Data Matrix
● PDF417
●
MicroPDF417
● QR Code
●
MaxiCode
● CODABLOCK-F
Selecting the correct barcode is critical to the success of your barcode
implementation plan. Here are some tips:
● If you use barcodes for a trade item that will be scanned at a retail
point of sale, you must use an EAN/UPC symbol.
●
If you print a barcode with variable data such as serial numbers,
expiry dates, or measurements, use Code 128.
Adding a barcode
Use a field in the data source to generate a barcode that appears in each
recipient's version of a personalized mailer.
1. In the Darwin workspace, click the ToolBox tab.
