Exporting barcodes

exporting barcodes

By clicking the Export barcodes button the Export barcodes form is displayed.

The left pane displays a list of all barcodes found in the current job. The names listed here are the ones found in the Advanced tab of the barcode properties form.

The right pane displays a preview of the barcode that will be exported.

In the lower end are two combo boxes that enable you to define the format and the quality of the generated images:

  • Export format: select the format to be used to generate the images. Note that the bitmap format is a non-compressed format and will generate files of much larger size compared to all other formats.
  • Export quality: select the DPI resolution (Dot Per Inch) to be enforced in the generated images. The higher the selected value, the higher the size of the resulting images and the required processing time.
  • File naming: enables you to select a field from the data source (when present) to define the name of each file that is generated during export. This field is active only when Labeljoy detects that automatic naming is possible.

Lastly, at the bottom of the form is the Open target folder after export check box, which, if checked, will automatically open a new Explorer window at the end of the exporting procedure of the folder in which the images were exported.

Note:
If the barcode being exported contains non-static elements, such as data fields, or counters, then the export operation will generate multiple files, one for each barcode.
Also, if a data source is found, a Microsoft Access 2003 (.mdb) file will also be generated, containing the data source and an additional field that will contain the path and the file name of each generated image file.
