Press this button to add the USPS bar code to the address. Press the number 1
Enable button and then select the Field where the bar code is located in the database.
Then press OK. The bar code
will appear in the lower right
hand corner of your screen just
below the layout in the blotter
area. Click and drag the bar
code to its position under the
address as shown.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The bar
code displayed in the Layout
Editor view is a representation of
the positioning of the bar code
on your layout. If you use the data base view
function in the Layout Editor, the bar code will
appear the same for each record. When the
record is printed on the AstroJet Printer the bar
code will be the correct one for each zip code in
the database.
You may also add a barcode with the “Layout
Editor”. This is used when the barcode
appears as a five plus four in one data field and a separate two-digit delivery point in
another field. Click on the
Text Field Properties icon and Enable a font. Click OK . Drag
the field to a position under or over the address and double click on it. When the “Text Field
Editor” window opens, click on the barcode icon to select the “Astro USPS” font. Then
select the fields that contain the barcode information from the drop down box and combine
them on the same line without any spaces. Click
OK and position the resulting image on
the layout.
The image will appear as follows: | ~FIELD_4~ | | ~FIELD_5~ | When in database view the
actual barcode for each address will display.
The actual database records can be viewed by clicking on the Template/Database View
icon. A set of arrow buttons will appear below the icons that will permit you to step through
the records or search for specific records..
