Code 39 is used for several standards including:
- LOGMARS
(Logistics Applications of Automated Marking and Reading Symbols) is an
application of Code 39 used by the United States Department of Defense that
recommends a check character.
LOGMARS is defined by Military Standard MIL-STD-1189B and others such as
MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-129N and MIL-STD-2073-1C. The variety of fonts provided
with the Code39 font package and IDAutomation's
Code39Mod43() function in IDAutomation's font encoder tools
allows for the implementation of this standard.
- HIBC (Health Industry Barcode) should use Code 39 to label all health care products. IDAutomation's 3 to 1 bar ratio in the Code 39 fonts and
IDAutomation's Code39Mod43() function in the
font encoder tools
allow for the implementation of this standard also. Please refer to
HIBC
for details on formatting this barcode.

Code 39 Barcode FAQ.
Easy To Use:
"We really like your Code 39 fonts. The ratio and spacing of the
glyphs allows them to survive multiple generations of degradation
(scanning or faxing) and still be recognizable by our commercial forms
scanners. It was this degradation problem that started me on the search
for a better font which resulted in selecting IDAutomation"
- LeRoy Tavares, American National Insurance Company, Galveston, Texas
Code 39 is the easiest of all alpha-numeric barcodes to use and is designed for character self-checking, eliminating the requirement for check character calculations. Code 39 barcodes may be generated from a
font encoder or a
calculated field to dynamically produce multiple barcode symbols. To manually create a barcode that encodes the
data "BARCODE39", perform the following:
1. Enter * as the start character
2. Enter "BARCODE39" which is the data to be encoded
3. Enter * as the stop character
4. Select only *BARCODE39* and change the font for that text
to IDAutomationC39
Flexibility:
The parentheses ( ) may also be used instead of "!" (exclamation point) or
"*" (asterisk) as the start and stop code to eliminate the "*" (asterisk) from appearing in the human-readable version of the fonts. When using the standard fonts, substitute the "=" (equal) or "_" (underscore) character for the space character. Symbol Encoded Fonts may be used to encode the space character without a substitution character; available in the latest version.
Industry Standard Support:
These Code 39 barcode fonts were developed
according to AIM, ANSI and European EN 800 standards.
Encoding
Tools Provided:
"The Code 39 Barcode Font provided by IDAutomation enabled us to ship resources quicker, with less errors and less human intervention. The process is largely due to the 'scanable' Packing Slip ID merged to a MS Word document with the Code 39 Font for the ID Bar Code. Other processes we considered required programming solutions prior to printing packing slips in order to achieve the checksum value required. Using the Code 39 Font, no programming was required apart from setting up the MS Word Template with the required MS Excel spreadsheet."
- Al Ebel, IS Manager, Focus on the Family
Calculated Fields may be easily used with code 39 fonts in applications
that support this feature. When it is necessary to use the Code39Mod43() function, such as for
HIBC,
HIBCC UDI,
LIC and
LOGMARS,
IDAutomation provides over 30 Font Encoders
to support checksum calculations including:
Complete Index of Font Encoders
Microsoft Word Compatibility:
A Word mail-merge barcode example is
provided in the package.
Space Character Support:
The latest version of this font package offers several options to encode the space character:
Advanced Font Design:
These Code 39 fonts have been specially
designed to produce dependable barcodes of all sizes. The
IDAutomation Linear USB Scanner easily and dependably scans the Code 39
barcode when printed as small as 6 points.
Low-Resolution Printer Support:
IDAutomation's Code 39 Barcode Fonts
are designed to
print precisely on 203 DPI thermal printers and 300 DPI printers
in addition to higher resolution printers.
Narrow Space Saving Fonts:
Version 2020 and greater includes narrow fonts that use a 2:1 narrow to wide ratio instead of the industry standard 3:1 ratio to save space.
Lower-Case Fonts:
A full set of
Extended Code 39 Fonts are included
to easily encode lower-case characters in
addition to upper-case characters and numbers.
Symbol Encoded Fonts:
Optional
symbol encoded fonts
are included
in the package will usually show the font in its own name, making it easier to
select the desired font within Windows applications.
Dot Matrix Printer Fonts:
Version 2020 and greater includes fonts designed and tested for 240 DPI dot matrix printers. These fonts include extra spacing between the bars and may also work on other dot matrix printers.
Web Fonts Provided:
With a purchase of the Developer License or above,
Web
Fonts are included in WOFF, EOT and SVG formats to easily display
barcodes in any web browser.

This works perfectly for our needs. Thanks!
Top Rating for This Product
We are introducing barcoding into our operations for inventory control. We don’t have an IT department and so we needed to find something both simple and easy to use. I searched the internet for a suitable code 39 download that I could try before I purchased the product. The IDAutomation Code 39 Font Advantage Package was the easiest to understand and very simple to use. I am able to extract data using ODBC into and excel spreadsheet, barcode the information I need and then using Word label printing I can insert the data I want onto a label. Perfect for my needs and a low cost solution.
Easy to Use
This code is easy to use since there are not macros involved and you are able to easily type the barcode in this font. Our office did end up having to return this font, because underscores were read as special codes by our barcode reader and were eliminated from the barcode when read. We were unable to use a font where underscores were not read by our barcode reader.
Very Easy to Use
The software is very easy to use. That it could be incorporated into our existing product label templates was an important selling point. We currently are not look for more software, however the positive experience we have had so far will put you at the top of the list for similar products should we require them.
Easy to integrate
Your product provided more variety and easy to integrate than others in the market. We are using the barcode to identify employee slips as they come into a Hearing Testing Trailer for auditory testing.
