Barcodes

The barcode program we have included easily displays and prints barcodes from your

Windows based word processing program. Install the dBest Barcode Package from

the CD. When the CD startup screen appears upon inserting the CD in the CD drive,

simply click on Install dBest Barcode Package and follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: The dBest Barcode Font Library supports 11 standard barcode styles: Code 39; Extended

Code 39, Interleaved 2/5; Code 1

28; UCC 1

28; Codabar; UPC A and E formats, EAN 8 and 13

formats and PostNet. Each barcode style supports a different set of ASCII characters and is used

for different situations or industrial applications. For instance: Code 39 supports uppercase

characters, numeric characters and a few incidental characters while Interleaved 2/5 only

supports numeric data, but does so in a compressed format. You should choose which barcode

style to use in your application based upon the type of data you need to support or by other

requirements placed upon your application.

You can get all of the technical information about the included barcodes in the

Barcode Font Library >>> Programmers Guide once the barcode software is

installed.
