  1. Scroll through the Source Fields List until you find the Data Field that you just created. Select it from the list and click the Insert Button. This will add it to the Linked Fields List and provide you additional opportunity to specify field information

 

 

  1. When you have finished, click the OK Button.

 

 

10. The new barcode will be added to the design canvas.

 

Note: Your data must contain a valid value for Postal Code and Country Code. If not, the data will not be formatted as a Postal MaxiCode —the actual SM@RT Codes will appear in the bar code field output and will not be processed.
