Easy-to-use
Self Checking
Barcode Fonts |
Self-checking
fonts offer easy integration with many applications without the requirement of
check digit calculations. Easy implementation is accomplished by appending an
asterisk before and after the data encoded to create a complete barcode symbol,
as demonstrated in the
following
Excel Barcode Example.
-
Code 39 - An alpha-numeric bar code that encodes uppercase letters,
numbers and some symbols; it is also
referred to as Barcode/39, the 3 of 9 Code and LOGMARS Code.
-
Codabar - A numeric barcode encoding numbers
with a slightly higher density than Code 39.
