The Code 39 barcode fonts should be printed at the correct font
size to suit your application and scanning equipment. We have been able to obtain
dependable scans in our lab when printing the Code 39 barcodes between 6 and 32
points with a 600 DPI laser printer.
Our advanced Code 39 fonts have been specially designed to be able to produce
dependable and scannable barcodes when printed at very small point sizes. With
a 600 DPI laser printer, the Code 39 font can be printed as small as 6 points
if the scanner supports it. Printed with a HP Laserjet at 600 DPI, we have been
able to dependably scan our Code 39 font printed at 6 points with the Intermec
CCD scanner.
Code 39 Font Advantage Package Features:
Easy to Use - our Code 39 fonts are easy to use in applications and
can be entered directly from the keyboard. All barcodes require a start and
stop character and these can also be entered from the keyboard. For example,
to create a barcode that encodes the data "1234ABCD" with the Code
39 Font, you: (1) select the font from the list of fonts in your application;
(2) type the start character, in this case it is "!"; (3) type the
data, in this case it is "1234ABCD"; (4) type the stop character,
in this case it is "!"; and then change the font back to the default
font of your document. To determine which Code 39 barcode font to use, first
print out the AdvHC39c barcode font at 12 points and other font sizes to determine
which size is the smallest that will work with your scanning equipment. Then,
choose the tallest version that will fit in your scanning area. Please review
the specifications to create barcodes from dimensions of which you are aware
of.
Multiple Versions Provided - twenty different versions of the
Code 39 barcode fonts are provided to support human readable versions and different
width and height requirements. Fonts beginning with AdvH are "human readable"
versions. The last character in the Code 39 barcode font name determines the
height of the barcode with the shortest being AdvC39a and the tallest being
AdvC39e. Because each single font can be printed at various point sizes, there
are several combinations of heights and widths that can be produced. If you
are not sure which one to use, we recommend AdvHC39c. For more information on
this, refer to the specifications.
Tools Provided - if you need to calculate checksum characters
for Code 39 (such as for HIBC LIC and LOGMARS), we provide the Code39Mod43()
function in our font automation tools. These tools consist of MS Office Macros
for Word, Excel and Access, LotusScript, Visual Basic, FoxPro, ANSI C and JAVA
Source Code, ActiveX DLLs for development platforms that support ActiveX / COM
technology, Crystal Reports User Function Libraries (UFLs) and a check digit
calculation application as a free download for programmers and technical users.
The DLLs, macros, UFLs and code provided automatically format the start, stop
and check characters to the barcode font.
MS Office Compatibility - the exclamation character or the
asterisk in the Code39 barcode font is used as a start and stop character and
therefore should not be part of the data in the bar code. For example, If you
want to print the data "CODE39" in the Code 39 barcode font you would
print !CODE39!. The asterisk "*" is commonly used as the start / stop
character with Code 39, but this can cause problems because some applications
such as MS Word will treat any text surrounded with asterisks as bold text.
If you need to print using an Access 2000 report, you would enter =("!"&[DataField]&"!")
in the control source field.
Space Character Support - it is also important to note that
when the Code39 barcode font is selected the space character will not produce
a barcode but a space. To print the barcode symbol representing a space you
will need to type or print "=" (the equal character) instead of a
space character or use our Font Automation Tools to perform automatic conversion.
Industry Standard Support - the Code 39 fonts were developed
according to ANSI and European EN 800 standards. The symbology of the Code 39
character set consists of bar code symbols representing characters 0-9, A-Z,
the space character and the following symbols: - , . , $ , / , + , %. The start
& stop symbol is obtained by choosing either "*" or "!".
Flexibility - you may also use the parentheses () instead of
¡°!¡± or ¡°*¡± as the start and stop code to eliminate the ¡°*¡± from appearing in
the human readable version of the fonts. The Code 39 barcode fonts should be
printed at the correct font size to suit your application and scanning equipment.
We have been able to obtain dependable scans in our lab when printing the Code
39 barcodes between 6 and 32 points with a 600 DPI laser printer.
Advanced Font Design - our advanced Code 39 fonts have been
specially designed to be able to produce dependable and scannable barcodes when
printed at very small point sizes as well as normal and large sizes. Printed
with a HP Laserjet at 600 DPI, we have been able to dependably scan our Code
39 font printed at 6 points with the Intermec and Opticon CCD scanners we sell.
In addition, the Intermec Sabre 1400 Linear Imager could read this font printed
at only 4 points.
Extended Character Support - it is possible to print extended
characters from Code 39 to encode tabs, returns or lower case letters. For more
information on this, view our extended code 39 page. If you need to encode the
full 128 character ASCII character set in a barcode with over 15 digits of data,
consider using our Code 128 fonts with character set B. Printing the full 128
character ASCII character set with Code 39 is not very efficient.
Calculated Field Use - Our Code39 fonts can be printed or displayed
as calculated fields in applications by selecting the font for the field and
using the following formula examples to calculate the field. Tabs and returns
can be added (in extended39) between fields by inserting "$I" for
a tab and "$M" for a return between fields.
Multiple Formats Provided - when you purchase a license for
this font, you will receive all versions in a single ZIP file. The manual is
supplied in a file named "Readme.html" in the ZIP file.
