How to setup barcode
kea...@my-deja.com
I need to generate some sequential barcode labels for some equipment.
The barcode scanner must read alphanumeric (EG. Pacis0001 values up to
9999)
The label size must be 1 1/4" X 1/4"
I will be using the Zebra strip600 printer
I have an option to used the wasp software (currently trying the demo)
The bar-one software or the Intellitrack software
I have the Intellitrack software but it doesn’t have the size label I
need.
If any one have any suggestions that would help please e-mail me

I have a quick and easy solution to your problem. If your printer
can print MS-Windows true type fonts then just get a barcode font. It's
then just a matter of printing out the code in that font at the desired
point size. There are several standards for printing barcodes and each
one has its own corresponding font(s). (Note that some standards define
that the barcode for 123 be printed as *123* or something similar. E.g.
delimited with asterisks. Read up on the standards.)
Try going to a search engine and searching the web for "Barcode True
Type Font". Note that some companies sell the fonts and others are
public domain. I did an article for my local PC users' group's
newsletter on this very topic about 6 months ago, but unfortunately I
don't have a copy of it now. From memory there is one particular web
site which does a very comprehensive job of explaining the differences
between the different barcode standards, and methods of printing them.
Just go searching for the site - it shouldn't be too hard to find. Good
luck.

We make a wide variety of bar coding font sets. We also have a dedicated
web section that explains just what different bar code symbbologies do,
what they can encode, and how to use them. Take a look at:
