How do I make a barcode 128 wide?

[Ellie Mae]

Setting up a new bar code with the new method, and I understand how to do it, but I am trying to replace a Code 128 Wide bar code with the new method. How do I make this new graphic bar code "wide" without using the font?

Mac based uDirect Studio, v6.5, build 6761.

Thanks

Hi

Not sure which barcode you need, but there are several for 128, including the GS1 types. I would try them all to be absolutely sure.  However, as a guess, maybe you need GS1 databar expanded.  In Studio, make your new content object (ador), then change the type to graphic, check expanded functions and choose XMPBarcode. In the first drop-down in the function you'll see the list of all the barcodes, choose one, then the next parameter is the value to be encode.  [ If you view the QLingo - my looked like this XMPBarcode("GS1DataBarExp", |->[Index], "") ]  You can then double-click the ador to place it into a graphic box. 

There's a video about this on the 1to1.xmpie.com site under training. 

Hope that helps, deb

Thanks! I'll give it a try! I did watch the video but it only covered one bar code, not a wide one.
