Abstract

A method and apparatus for producing a barcode on a substrate reproduce the barcode to adapt it during a workflow. All information about the barcode is procured and the page is reproduced. If not all the information about the barcode is known, problems can occur. Therefore, a first section is created within a first region in a file, describing a first barcode, the region is made unambiguously identifiable using identification elements of a PDL and, when re-opening, the file is identified using the identification elements and the first barcode is accessed. Changes can be made to individual parameters and/or contents of the first barcode and can be used to produce a changed first region. A substrate is then imaged in an imaging device producing the barcode while taking the changes in the image region into account. A data carrier stores a computer program for carrying out the method.
