installation.

Features of the XML Barcode Webservice for Windows:
- 100% Managed Code created in C# .NET.
- Flexible Sizing Options - The X dimension, wide to narrow
ratio, barcode height and several other properties may be adjusted
for the intended application and scanning equipment. Measurements
are in cm (centimeters) unless otherwise indicated.
- Graphic Configuration settings are provided for the foreground
and background colors and fonts for the human-readable characters.
- Complete
GS1-128 Support (aka: UCC128 & EAN128) - Easy methods are
provided to add all application identifiers into Code 128 barcodes
when the "Auto" character set is selected. The control also formats
the correct human-readable text by placing the AI's into parentheses
as required.
- Checksum Options - Checksum characters may be enabled
or disabled in the barcode. In the human-readable text, checksum
characters can be appended to the text. This feature can also be
turned off so the checksum character is not in the text but is encoded
in the barcode.
- Text Options - The human readable text may be enabled
or disabled in the linear barcode control. This feature is sometimes
disabled by developers that create custom formatting.
- Tilde Functions for Code 128 Auto allow easy encoding
of returns, tabs and other functions such as GS and RS
functions between fields in a single barcode symbol. For example,
web~009service~013 will create a barcode
that encodes web<TAB>service<RETURN>.
- Selectable Orientation angles of 0, 90, 180 or 270 are
supported.
- Supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP and WMF image files.
- Image Resolution Options - By default, the barcode is
generated at 96 DPI for display in web applications. Resolution
properties in the service allow this to be easily changed as needed.
- C# Source Code will be supplied with the purchase of
three Developer Licenses or the Unlimited Developer License and
a signed
source
code license agreement .
- Download a Free Evaluation Version - The only restriction
in the evaluation version is the display of the text "DEMO" in the
barcode. If the bar height is increased enough, the barcode can
still be scanned for testing purposes.
