Human Readable Property Page

The characters encoded in a barcode are usually displayed below the barcode in human readable form. Consequently, if a barcode reader does not function correctly (or is not installed), the person performing the data entry can read the human readable characters and enter the information into the computer using the keyboard.

The Human Readable property page allows you to specify exactly how you want the human readable characters to be printed with your barcode (or if you want them to be printed at all). Like the Symbology and Size property page, the Human Readable property page contains a dynamic area that displays different options depending on the barcode symbology that is selected.

Visibility

Although most barcodes are printed with the display of human readable characters enabled, there are times when it is more advantageous not to display the human readable characters. One of the main reasons for not displaying the human readable characters is to provide a slight measure of added data security.
