9.3 Barcodes
The dBest barcode program is compatible only with 32-bit Microsoft
®
Windows operating systems.
NOTE: Be sure to select the dBest Barcode package from your installation CD. If it
isn’t installed, you won’t be able to view or print barcodes within a template.
The barcode program included on your printer’s CD displays and prints barcodes
from Windows-based word processing programs. When the CD startup screen
appears, click on Install dBest Barcode Package and follow the instructions.
Technical information can be accessed at Barcode Font Library > Programmers
Guide.
NOTE: The dBest Font Library supports 11 standard barcode styles: Code 39,
Extended Code 39, Interleaved 2/5, Code 128, UCC 128, Codabar, UPC A, UPC
E, EAN 8, EAN 13 and PostNet. Each supports different sets of ASCII characters
and is used for different situations or industrial applications. Code 39 supports
uppercase, numeric and incidental characters, while Interleaved 2/5 supports
numeric data in a compressed format. Choose a barcode style based on the type of
data you need to support or for your applications-based requirements.
