The free Code 39 font may be used for personal use, educational purposes, and by organizations that have a gross annual revenue of less than $500,000 USD or are classified as nonprofit for tax purposes. For complete license details, review the free product section of the Software License Agreement. The free Code 39 barcode font is only supplied in one size, with the 3:1 ratio, and without product support; if more sizes or support are needed consider the licensed version of the Code 39 Barcode Font Package.
To generate a Code 39 barcode from a font, the data to encode is to be surrounded by asterisks as the start and stop characters, i.e. *153969*. To hide the asterisks from appearing in the human-readable below the barcode, use the parenthesis surrounding the data, i.e.(12345). If the font is not in the font selection list of the application after installation, check the application settings. Most applications allow the ability to disable a feature that lists the font names in the fonts list. For example, if the font is not in the Microsoft Office fonts list, follow these steps:
If a higher-density barcode is required, considerCode 128 or a 2D barcode such as QR Code or DataMatrix for something that can withstand damage and still scan correctly. The licensed version of the Code 39 font also includes fonts with a 2:1 ratio of width to make the symbol narrower.
Code 39 is one of the most common barcodes in use today, and thus virtually every barcode scanner will be capable of reading Code 39. When using a printer with less than 600 DPI, the following point sizes should be used to create accurate barcodes:
The free Code 39 barcode font is only supplied in one size. In the Licensed Code 39 Font Package, several versions of the fonts are provided to support human-readable versions in addition to different height and width requirements, including a narrow 2:1 ratio version. The last character in the font name determines the height of the barcode with the shortest being "XS" and the tallest being "XXL".
This troubleshooting procedure assumes the barcode font is installed and can be printed from an application (such as WordPad in Windows). If the font does not print from an application, refer to the Font Installation Procedures or TrueType font problems in Windows.
I'm using Libreoffice Calc to print stock labels. I've encoded the texts for use with the code128 format, same as in this online tool, and I can print the barcodes using the Libre Barcode 128 font. When I print my normal size labels they scan correctly.
However I'm having trouble with small labels. The smaller labels need to be about 3,2cm wide in order to fit. So I set the font size to 16pt, but then they don't always scan as easily. Most of the time the barcode scanner doesn't pick it up at all, only sometimes it scans correctly, so this is not a workable solution.
I'm guessing it has to do with barcode being too small in height, so not tall enough. So I figured to just print the same barcode stacked on top of each other in order to make the barcode lines longer. But then have to fidget with the font and cell settings, in order to "merge" the stacked barcodes seamlessly. And, at least in the print preview, it is still not seamless because there are horizontal white lines between the cells.
So my quesion is,
is there a better way to make fonts appear taller but not wider?
Or is there another way to print barcodes with taller lines?
Or is there maybe a better barcode128 font to use?
Had same problem with barcodes in the mid 90's, no google or even much internet then so it all took a bit longer to sort out i recall! Barcode scanners would beep when I walked past them in a striped shirt but would not scan my barcodes.
You need to make a double height version of your font. This is quite straightforward nowadays. Use online font tool Glyphr Studio and upload your barcode128 font. Go to global settings in menu and in re-size all glyphs option, put 2200 in the height box and click resize button (assuming that the height is already 2200, this doubles it to 4400). Then in font settings, glyph proportions, enter 4400 in the ascent height box. While still in font settings, give the font a name, code128L for example. Then select export menu and click OTF format and save. Click on your downloaded font and install it.
I am working on creating raw material labels with Epicor10 and Report Builder. In the Epicor BAQ, I have set up calculated fields to concatenate an asterisk before, and after the received part number. This works perfectly fine, and the scanner can read the part number in the report while using the DWBar39 font.
Is there any obvious visual difference between barcodes or other fonts printed in Firefox 19 and Firefox 20? For example, "boldness" for lack of a better word. I ask because we had a Windows 7 user whose Arial all turned into Arial bold. If you wouldn't mind, could you review the suggestions in that thread: why all fonts in all sites same size even unread and read text ?
Visibility and Scanning: Position the barcode for easy visibility and scanning. Avoid barcodes wider than 4 inches (10.3 cm) if using a handheld scanner; tall, narrow barcodes work best in this case. Avoid compressing barcode content when using a handheld scanner.
Barcode Size: Ensure the barcode size accommodates the data to encode. If the barcode area is too small, it may turn solid gray. Test the completed form before distribution to ensure the barcode area is large enough.
Afterinserting a barcode of maximum size, changing the cell size or decode conditionmay cause the barcode to cross the page borders. Avoid this behaviorby selecting the appropriate cell size and decode conditions forthe barcode.
JavaScript code is generated automatically to encode the selected fields in the XML or Tab Delimited format. The Barcode Field Properties dialog box closes, and the barcode for which you specified values appears on the form.
Ifyou add a new field to a form after you have created the barcode,it is not automatically included in the data for existing barcodes.However, you can manually include additional data fields in thebarcode.
After including new data fields in the barcode, ensure that the barcode area is large enough by testing sample data. If the barcode area is grayed out, adjust the barcode size, or text field properties so that the content fits into the barcode area.
The National Association of Computerized Tax Processors (NACTP) guidelines, used by the United States Internal Revenue Service and state tax agencies, recommend using all uppercase characters for 2D barcode data.
I did read on Azalea's site that I may need to add an asterisk (*) at the beginning and end of the data field for the start and stop bars. I tried this and it didn't print the barcode at all in either of the cases.
Yes, the Code 39 symbology (barcode language) can be constructed with a font. (Other symbologies, such as Code 128, must be constructed with software like Wasp's Labeler software.)
There are free Code 39 fonts available on the internet. This is one from the website of one of our resellers, that you can download and install:

When creating a barcode, type an asterisk ( * ), then the barcode data, then another asterisk. Select that text, then change the font to your Code 39 font.
For example, for barcode data A12345, you would type the following, then change the font:
*A12345*
I need to create labels in Microsoft Word 2010 with numbers encoded as barcodes. The barcode's format (ean, code39, upc, etc) does not matter. I have downloaded a barcode conversion font that I found at this site.
When I type the number that I want and then I format it with my new font, it produces a barcode. I then print it on an OKI laser printer (1200 dpi). The result seems to be fine, at least for common people.
But, when I try to scan it, nothing happens. I tried both with a barcode scanner and a data collector, but neither of them read the barcode. My barcode scanner is working fine, because I can read commercial barcodes printed on products.
To reinforce what others are saying you need to understand the defined format for the type of barcode you are trying to print. For example Code 128 requires a START and STOP character as well as a CHECKSUM. If you have not included these as part of your data string then the barcode scanner will not make any sense of your barcode. Some other things to consider with barcode fonts are -
I am using LibreOffice Draw to edit a PDF document which has a barcode printed in it. Draw decodes the barcode and replaces it with numbers as soon as I open the document. The decoded text is of 3of9Barcode font type.

A barcode or bar code is a method of representing data in a visual, machine-readable form. Initially, barcodes represented data by varying the widths, spacings and sizes of parallel lines. These barcodes, now commonly referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D), can be scanned by special optical scanners, called barcode readers, of which there are several types. Later, two-dimensional (2D) variants were developed, using rectangles, dots, hexagons and other patterns, called matrix codes or 2D barcodes, although they do not use bars as such. 2D barcodes can be read using purpose-built 2D optical scanners, which exist in a few different forms. 2D barcodes can also be read by a digital camera connected to a microcomputer running software that takes a photographic image of the barcode and analyzes the image to deconstruct and decode the 2D barcode. A mobile device with a built-in camera, such as a smartphone, can function as the latter type of 2D barcode reader using specialized application software (The same sort of mobile device could also read 1D barcodes, depending on the application software).
