To control how a paper forms barcode encodes data

When using a paper forms barcode object in a form design, you must specify the format that the barcode will use when encoding the data, as well as which data will be encoded. You can specify the following types of data formats:

•

XML

•

Delimited

Both options provide a script for the paper forms barcode object that instructs it to use a particular data type when encoding the data.

You can provide your own script for encoding the data. For more information, see To create a custom script for encoding data for a paper forms barcode.

To define how the paper forms barcode object obtains data, use the options in the Value tab of the Object palette. You can also specify whether the data is compressed before encoding.

To automatically generate a script to encode barcode data

1.	On the form design, select the paper forms barcode.

2.	In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Automatic Scripting.

3.	In the Format list, select one of these options:

•

XML

•	Delimited.

4.	(Optional) Select Include Field Names and Include Label.

5.	In the Apply To list, select one of these options:

•	Entire Form Data

•	Collection Data. Select the collection from the Collection menu.

To compress the data before encoding

1.	On the form design, select the paper forms barcode.

2.	In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Compress Data Before Encoding.
