Codabar was developed in 1972 and is used in libraries, blood banks, and some air parcel services. It is easy to use, does not use a checksum, and lets you code numbers, four letters letters, and some punctuation.
This bar code set includes TrueType and PostScript fonts in both a standard, (just bar codes), and a human readable, (bar codes with text or numbers below), versions of Codabar.
Each of these scalable TrueType bar code fonts comes in six different aspect ratios, so you can vary the height and width of the bars independent of each other. This lets you print bar codes with the same height, but different horizontal print densities.
We include VBA functions so you can use these fonts directly in Excel or Access and Word label templates. You also get our utility program, Codabar.exe, which helps you format Codabar strings.
The online manual comes in Rich Text format- compatible with any word processor. Just print a copy of the manual to see how to use these soft fonts to print bar codes.
