What barcode format do you need?

A barcode is just a fount. Some barcodes include check digits. That is waht the DLLs do for you.

For example:
Free Barcode Font - Code 39

Hm ... Ok thanks .. I didn't know it is only a font.. I got it ..thanks ... And what about ean 13.. Is there a font for it

 

[HiTechCoach]

The 39 font is the only free one that I have seen. I purchased WASP (Click Here)

 

[MBMSOFT]

hm.. i tried 39 font but it didn't work , it might that my barcode scaner didn't recognize the type .. i'll try again in another one ...
at the moment i need to explore possibilites before i decide what to buy.. so i neded some simple code for free to see what exactly i will need in the future... any way thanks for your advice

 

[HiTechCoach]

To use the 39 bacode:

Be sure to add an asterisk * character before and after your text.

Example *YOURTEXTHERE*

Did you do this when testing?

Note:WASP has a trail version!

how many caracters a can use in code 39 , or it is unlimited

I think it depends on your reader, so long as the your reader can scan the length of the barcode, it shouldn't really matter about number of characters.

If you have a reader, go into word and create a variety of barcodes and test it out. If you don't, the one I use is Opticon OPR2001 using USB input and its quite fast and durable. It also allows you to programme it anywhere using the online software utility.

ok jr2007 i'll try that way...
