How can I customize a barcode?

Answer

Define a variable to easily show linked barcode data as custom text.

Barcodes are often accompanied by human-readable text. Usually, this "barcode value" is found underneath the barcode. Your design might benefit from having a different font, or a formatted version of the barcode value.

Variables

The basic idea is to use a variable for both the barcode and the text. Start by learning about variables and how they're used throughout Label LIVE.

Skip the Check Digit

Barcodes such as UPC and EAN often calculate a "check-digit" that gets appended to the end of the value. Although barcodes often require the use of check-digits, some users would rather show the value without the check digit. Learn more about that process here:
