Codabar Barcode Information
 The
Codabar barcode symbology is used for various numeric barcoding applications
including libraries, blood banks and parcels. The Codabar barcode 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 barcode symbols
representing characters 0-9, Letters A to D and the following symbols:
- $ / +. Additional data may 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, to print the data 2727 in the Codabar barcode font,
print A2727B with the Codabar font selected.
IDAutomation Codabar fonts are provided with a narrow to wide ratio
of 3:1. If an N dimension of 2 or 2.5 is needed, IDAutomation also offers
the Universal
Barcode Font Advantage™, which offers N Dimensions of 2:1, 2.5:1
and 3:1 and is designed to create multiple barcode types as a single
font.
Codabar Barcode Font Features
 This
package contains 12 different font versions in six font formats, plus
font tools, macros and source code to help integrate the fonts into
an application. Details of the Codabar Barcode Font Advantage Package
are as follows:
- Ease-of-use - IDAutomation Codabar fonts may be created
directly from the keyboard or used
in a calculated field to dynamically produce multiple symbols.
All barcodes require a start and stop character, and these can be
entered from the keyboard as well. For example, to create a barcode
that encodes the data "1234" with the Codabar Font: (1) select the
font from the list of fonts in the 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";
(5) change the font back to the default font of the document.

"We purchased this product because of
the big range of products you offer and the fact that
we already use other fonts from you. This product has
helped our company with speed for personalization in
combination of our Indigo press." - Wim Feys, Femalabel,
Belgium |
- Multiple Versions Provided - Codabar barcode fonts are
scaleable and should be printed at the correct font size to suit
the application and scanning equipment. Twelve (12) versions of
Codabar barcode fonts are provided to support human-readable versions
and different width and height requirements. For more information,
refer to the Codabar specifications.
- Industry Standards - IDAutomation 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 integrate barcodes into applications,
IDAutomation provides
barcode 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
- IDAutomation Codabar barcode 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")
- Multiple Formats Provided - All versions of the Codabar
barcode font will be included in a single ZIP file after the purchase
of a license. The manual is supplied in a file named "readme" in
the ZIP file. The following Codabar fonts are included:
- TrueType fonts are supplied in PC and Macintosh format.
The TrueType TTF fonts are compatible with Macintosh OS X and
all versions of Microsoft Windows. Macintosh formatted MTT TrueType
fonts are compatible with Macintosh System 7.1 and above.

and OpenType.
- For the most up-to-date installation procedures for other
operating systems, please visit the
Barcode
Font Technical Support Page.
The X dimension (X is the width of the narrow bar) is listed below
for various point sizes. The N Dimension (wide to narrow ratio) is 3:1,
which is recommended by international standards. If an N dimension of
2 or 2.5 is needed, IDAutomation also offers the
Universal Barcode
Font Advantage™, which offers N Dimensions of 2:1, 2.5:1 and 3:1
and is designed to create multiple barcode types as a single font.
IDAutomation’s advanced Codabar barcode fonts have been designed
to dependably scan when printed at large and small point sizes. When
printed at 6 points with a 600 DPI or greater laser printer, IDAutomation
has been able to dependably scan the Codabar font with the
IDAutomation USB Barcode
Scanner. Excluding the start and stop characters, slightly
more than 18 CPI print density may be achieved when printing at this
small size.

IDAutomation also offers the
Universal Barcode
Font Advantage™, designed to support most linear barcodes as a single
font on multiple operating systems and locales. This Universal Font
can provide wide to narrow ratios of 2:1, 2.5:1 and 3:1.
Twelve (12) different versions of the Codabar barcode fonts are provided
to support human-readable versions and different height requirements.
Fonts with the letter "H" in the font name are "human readable"
versions. The last characters in the Codabar barcode font name determines
the height of the barcode, with the shortest being "XS" and the
tallest being "XXL". Because each single font may be printed
at various point sizes, several height/width combinations can be produced.

| * Measurements are approximate and
were measured when printed at 12 points, which should work for
most scanners. Measurements for Human Readable fonts do not
include the text below. At 12 points, the X dimension is about
8 mils.
To print at a different height, find the font that has the
height closest to what is needed and use this formula to find
the point size to print the font at that height:
12 * (height you want) / (height at 12
points) = (point size converted to integer)
For example, if using IDAutomationCBL and the size is to be
about .75" tall, then it needs to print at 18 points because:
12 * .75 / .5 = 18
