Create 2D datamatrix on front of each page

OL Connect Professional Designer
1

does anyone have any experience with creating a 2d datamatrix for intelligent enclosing? We currently use a different piece of software but would like to know how to do all of this in one go using connect. I’m not entirely sure if it’s something we add in the designer or the workflow. I assume it is in the designer.

All we are looking for is on the front of each pack having

N of M Seq Ref
So a 1 sheet pack would read 0101001REF
a 2 page pack would read 0102001REF on sheet 1 and 0202002REF on sheet 2

I was told this would be a fairly straight forward task by our trainer but we didn’t have the time to cover how to do it. Has anyone done anything like this before and is it quite easy to do?

You can achieve this by adding the Datamatrix in the Add Additional Content in the Output Preset.

The list of variables such as current page number, page count, sheet number, sheet count…etc is available here.

You can build the expression for the data matrix using the above variables. An example on how to build the JavaScript expression for your barcode data is availbale from the following thread:

You may add as many barcodes as you need and can control on which page(s) the barcode should display using conditions in the Add Additional Barcode page.
