Yes, you can generate and print barcodes with ParaSQL. The primary limitation at present is that barcode labels must run in a single column down the page (i.e. 1x across), and printing multiple pages at a single time is usually not viable due to browser limitations and label alignment issues. But you can print a single page of 1x across barcode labels directly from within ParaSQL. Here's how...

Create a record with the same height as the label you want to print. Position that record in its own app just for this purpose, with top and left margins set to match the label. To add a barcode image for the data in a specific field, use an HTML Widget with code like the following:

<div style="width:100%; height:100%; background-image: url( 'http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/image.php?code=@value(MyTable.MyBarcodeDataField) &style=197&type=C128B&width=115&height=50&xres=1&font=3' ); background-position: center center; background-size: contain; background-repeat: no-repeat;"></div>

The widget will fetch and display the barcode image for the value in the field specified.
