Human readable text parameters
16.1 Set parameters for the human readable text
The human readable text refers to the characters printed below, beside or above a bar code
or 2D code. You can specify parameters such as position or character spacing.
For composite codes, the settings are applied for both, the 1D and the 2D part, except of the
positioning parameters.
For GS1 DataBar, you can use the “Optimal setting” function to adjust the following
parameters automatically: “Relative X-position [mm]”, “Relative Y-position [mm]”, “Character
height [mm]”, “Character width [mm]”, “Character spacing [mm]”, “Linefeed spacing [mm]”.
• To edit the parameters of the bar code or 2D code object, select the object in the object
list or in the marking image editor.
The parameters are displayed in the category below the object list.
• Select “Human readable text” to enable the human readable text function.
For composite code, the human readable text function of the 1D part can be enabled
independently from the 2D part.
Specify any of the following parameters:
• “Font”:
Select a font for the alphanumeric characters from the list box.
For the human readable text of bar code or 2D code objects, you can set a default font
under “System settings” > “Operation/information” > “Advanced system settings” >
“Default font for bar code/2D code objects”.
To display Japanese or Simplified Chinese characters in the human readable text, select
the desired character set under “East Asian characters” in “File settings”.
• “Auto-positioning”:
Select the check box to position the human readable text automatically.
• “Relative X-position [mm]”, “Relative Y-position [mm]”:
Specify values to position the human readable text relative to the code's center. To
change the values, deselect “Auto-positioning”.
‒ For composite codes, the human readable text of the 1D part can be positioned
independently from the position of the 2D part.
‒ The positioning parameters are not available for EAN/UPC/JAN.
