# Using First Page Only Barcodes

The FirstPageOnly element allows users to select a barcode for use on the first page of a document. Setting the element to "true" prints a barcode on the first page only of a document; setting the element to "false" prints a barcode on all pages.

The FirstPageOnly element is used within the SelectAndGenerate and Generate API calls.
