Codabar Symbology Information:

The Codabar bar code symbology is used for various numeric bar coding applications including libraries, blood banks and parcels. Codabar was designed for character self-checking eliminating the requirement for checksum characters. However, checksum characters in the Codabar barcode are optional and they do maximize data integrity.

The symbology of the Codabar character set consists of bar code symbols representing characters 0-9, Letters A to D and the following symbols: - . $ / +. Additional data can be encoded in the actual choice of start and stop codes. The letters A, B C and D are used for start and stop codes. For example, if you want to print the data 2727 in the Codabar barcode font you would print A2727B with the Codabar font selected.

Codabar Font Advantage Package Features:

With this package you receive twelve different font versions in six font formats. You also receive font tools, macros and source code to help you integrate the fonts into your application. Details of the Codabar Font Advantage Package are as follows:

Easy to use - our Codabar 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 "1234" with the Codabar Font, you: (1) select the font from the list of fonts in your application; (2) type the start character, in this case it is "A"; (3) type the data, in this case it is "1234"; (4) type the stop character, in this case it is "B"; and then change the font back to the default font of your document.
Multiple Versions Provided - the Codabar barcode fonts are scaleable and should be printed at the correct font size to suit your application and scanning equipment. Twelve (12) versions of the Codabar barcode fonts are provided to support human readable versions and different width and height requirements. Fonts beginning with IDAutomationH are human readable versions with the translation below the barcode. The last characters in the Codabar barcode font name determines the height of the barcode with the shortest being IDAutomatonCBXS and the tallest being IDAutomatonCBXXL. To determine which Codabar barcode font to use, first print out the IDAutomatonCBS barcode font at various 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.
Industry Standards - the IDAutomation.com, Inc. Codabar barcode fonts have been developed according to Rationalized Codabar standards. Rationalized Codabar is 100% compatible with traditional Codabar and just as secure with the added benefit of higher density.
Tools Provided - to help users integrate barcodes into their applications, we provide font automation tools such as MS Office Macros for Word, Excel and Access, Visual Basic, ANSI C and C++ Source Code, ActiveX DLLs for development platforms that support Microsoft's ActiveX / COM technology, Crystal Reports User Function Libraries (UFLs) and a check digit calculation application with Visual Basic source code. The DLLs, macros, UFLs and code provided automatically format the start, stop and check characters to the barcode font.
Calculated Field Use - Our Codabar fonts can be easily 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:
- Lotus Notes (Use for Barcoding in forms and views): "A" + DataField + "B"
- Lotus Approach: Combine ('A', DataField, 'B')
- Lotus 123 for Windows- enter in another cell, text data from cell B4: ("A"&B4&"B")
- Lotus 123 for Windows- converts a number in cell B7 to text for barcoding: ("A"&@STRING(B7,0)&"B")
- Clarion: loc:barcode='A'&left(clip(DataField))&'B'
- Microsoft Access: =("A"&[DataField] & "B")
- Microsoft Excel - enter in another cell, text data from cell B2: =("A"&B2&"B")
