 Barcode Fonts:

Barcode Fonts - Self Checking

IDAutomation's self-checking bar code fonts allow users to create barcodes in any application that uses fonts. The Code 39, Codabar and Industrial 2 of 5 self-checking fonts do not require any complicated calculations.

Barcode Fonts Requiring Check Digits

IDAutomation has high-density barcodes that are not self-checking and therefore require check characters to be calculated and appended to the end of the data string. All are supplied with easy to understand methods and examples of calculating the check character. The most popular are Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5 and UPC/EAN.

2D Barcode Fonts

PDF417 and other two dimensional barcodes such as Data Matrix, Aztec, Maxicode and QRCode allow encoding of more data in a smaller area.

MICR and OCR Fonts

IDAutomation MICR fonts allow printing of numbers and codes to create bank checks or drafts from blank check stock. The OCR-A and OCR-B fonts are used for OCR applications requiring these specific fonts.

IDAutomation also has a product list by application and a product list by symbology.
