PosiCode

The Symbology and Size property page for the PosiCode symbology includes the following options.

Symbology: Specifies the symbology that is selected. You can use this list to select a different symbology.

Dimensions

X dimension: Specifies the width of the X dimension.

Opens the Barcode X Dimension dialog, which you can use to configure advanced X dimension settings.
Ratio: Specifies the ratio between the widths of the wide and narrow elements in the barcode. By default, this option is set to Auto and cannot be changed.
Density: Specifies the number of characters that can be encoded per inch.
Height: Specifies the height of the bars from the top edge of the symbol to the bottom edge.

Symbology Specific Options

Check digit: Specifies that a check digit is used. By default, this option is selected and cannot be changed.
W dimension: Specifies the W dimension value. You can modify this value by modifying the X Dimension value.
G dimension: Specifies the G dimension value. When you increase the G dimension value, the bars are spaced farther apart.

PosiCode is a position-based symbology, which means that all of the bars are the same width and the centers of the bars are laid out on an imaginary grid of equally spaced parallel lines. The distance between these grid lines is called the G dimension, and the width of the bars is called the W dimension. The combination of these two dimensions is similar to the X dimension of other barcodes.

Version: Specifies the PosiCode version to use.
Use GS1-formatted data: Specifies that you can define application identifiers (AIs) for your barcode symbol according to the GS1 specifications. After you select this option, you can click GS1 Application Identifier Data Source Wizard to start the wizard and configure your AIs.
GS1 Application Identifier Data Source Wizard: Starts the GS1 Application Identifier Data Source wizard so that you can add GS1 application identifiers (AIs) to the barcode.
Text encoding: Specifies the character set that BarTender uses to convert the text message string to the data representation that is encoded in the barcode symbol.By default, the US, Western Europe (7-Bit ASCII) encoding scheme is selected and cannot be changed.

Color: Displays the currently selected color of the barcode symbol. To select a different color, click this option, and then use the Color Picker to select the color that you want. For more information, refer to Color Picker.

Barcode scanners cannot read colored barcodes as well as they can read barcodes that are printed in black. Therefore, we recommend that you do not modify the color of barcode objects unless they are used only for decoration.

Print Method: Opens the Print Method Options dialog, where you can specify how your barcodes are printed on thermal printers. Available when you use a thermal printer that has Drivers by Seagull™ installed.
