I think that would mean altering the code. I have found how to alter the default text under the barcode, by adding text= to the save method, such as

image.save(path, text='text here')

But that replaces the default text (the value of the barcode). I got around this by creating a text variable that includes the info I wanted - first name and last name of a user - as well as the barcode by doing this (i'm using objects which have a barcode attribute as well as first_name and last_name):

text = f'{obj.first_name} {obj.last_name.upper()} - {obj.barcode}'

and then passing that to the barcode writer as so:

image.save(path, text=text)

I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but I hope that helps in the meantime.
