SELF CHECKING BARCODE FONTS

IDAutomation’s self-checking barcode fonts allow users to create barcodes in any application that uses fonts. The Code 39, and Codabar self-checking fonts do not require any complicated check-digit calculations.

BARCODE FONTS REQUIRING CHECK DIGITS

IDAutomation offers 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 ITF, GS1 DataBar and GS1 UPC/EAN.

2D BARCODE FONTS

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

MICR & 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.

Barcode Hardware

It is important to have the ability to test printed barcodes with a barcode scanner. If a scanner is not available for testing purposes, IDAutomation offers several high-quality barcode scanner kits.
