Need help clarify Custom Barcode field logic.

[Nonnatee Kanjana]

How does the barcode field gets render on print? And which encoded barcode symbol are supported?

I'm trying to auto-generate barcode on printed docs but seem to get lost in how to auto-gen(on-save) barcode and render them on prints. 

any guide or suggestion is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Barcode printing is not out of the box in ERPNext. I think there are specialized tools for this. If anyone has figured this out (Indictrans?) please share.

Hi,

You have to add, a custom field on form with type image or html, then just generate an barcode image with the help of pyBarcode package. 

we have done this with field type html: refer method generate_barcode() from line 464-480.

https://github.com/saurabh6790/medsynapp/blob/master/clinical/doctype/patient_register/patient_register.py

Then use the same field on print format.
