Description

Returns or sets a value that determines whether to include bearer bars around the barcode.

Remarks

Bearer bars (see below) are horizontal bars printed across the top and bottom of the barcode image. Bearer bars can help to avoid partial reading, should the reader move off the top or bottom of the code. Only certain symbologies require bearer bars (for example Interleaved 2 of 5), because the start and stop characters in most barcodes make bearer bars unnecessary.

In Barcode Creator, the following symbologies can have bearer bars: Codabar, Code11, Code25, Code128, UCC/EAN-128, Code39, Code39 HIBC, Code 39 Full ASCII, Code93, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI/Plessey and Telepen. Other symbologies ignore this property.
