Barcode Field Properties
The Barcode field places a bar code on the credential using data gathered from enrollment.
Note: Barcode fields in Designer and preview are static images and don't reflect the fields' properties or respective values. The real barcode is printed on a real card.
- Enter a name for the field in the Name field.
- Enter data in the Sample Data field. The Barcode field displays this data in previews and samples of the credential.
- Select Left, Center, Right, or Justify from the Alignment area.
- Modify the values in the Width and Height fields to adjust the size of the field on the credential design.
- Modify the values in the Left and Top fields to adjust the position of the field on the credential design.
- Enter a percentage in the Rotation field to rotate the field on the credential design.
- From the Background color selector, select black or white to set the background of the Barcode field as black or white.
- From the Bar Code type list, select a bar code format. Instant ID as a Service converts the data in the Barcode field into the selected bar code format.
- From the Density list, select High, Medium, or Low. Density sets the width of the vertical lines in the bar code. Low sets it to four pixels, Medium sets it to two pixels, and High sets it to one pixel.
- Under Interpretation text, select On or Off. Enabling Interpretation text displays the text encoded in the bar code beneath the bar code on the credential.
- Click the Font Family drop-down menu to select a font family for the text in the field.
- Enter a size in the Font size field.
Note: Changes from default Font Family to any other Font Family and changes to Font Size applied to Barcode fields in Credential Designer will not appear in the preview. Changes applied to Barcode fields in Enrollment Designer are able to preview and not applied during printing.
- Select Bold, Italic, or Underline from the Font Style area.
