# Barcode
The **Barcode** field allows a quick and convenient way to create many types of barcodes into an image frame from a field.
Field Options > Format pane > Barcode dialog box
### List of supported Barcodes
* EAN5
* EAN8
* EAN13
* EAN14
* Code 39
* Code 128
* GS1-128
* UPCA
* I2Of5
* Data Matrix
* [QR Code](/setting-up-your-data/field-options/available-field-options/the-format-pane/qr-code.md)
The following QR code types are supported:
* Text
* URL
The following QR codes can also be inserted, but a custom field needs to be created first in order to collect the necessary data:
* Business/vCard
* SMS
* Email
### Barcode color
Choose a color from the list. EasyCatalog will display all color swatches defined in your document.
### Output human-readable text
Enable this option to display the barcode text beneath the graphic. Then, select a paragraph style from the `Paragraph Style` dropdown menu.
### Inserting barcodes
To insert a field as a barcode:
1. Edit the field’s Field Options using the *Field Options* menu from the data panel’s pop-out menu
2. On the “*Format*” pane, change the field’s type to be “*Barcode*“
3. Select the barcode type from the *Barcode Type* pop-up.
The field will now be treated in the same way as an image field, so to insert the barcode insert the field into an image box or assign a `Field Specifier` for this field to an image box.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://easycatalog.nousmedis.com/setting-up-your-data/field-options/available-field-options/the-format-pane/barcode.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
