Subject: [vrf] Re: Barcode printing
Reiner,
Attached is a barcode font called "free 3 of 9". The web page
for free 3 of 9 is:
I use this font in 24pt on data sheets so
that assembly numbers can be scanned.
To use the font unzip the files to your Fonts directory. Then use
the font in VEE just like any other font, but you must begin and end the
barcode with the asterisk character. See the example file
"Barcode.vee".
Read this excerpt from the readme file for details:
To create a valid 3 of 9 barcode you have to begin and end it with
a
special character. Scanners look for this character to know
where to
start and stop reading the barcode. It is represented in
this font
with the '*' character. So, to create a barcode for the
text "ABC123"
you have to type out "*ABC123*". Note that barcode
readers will not
include the *'s in the text they return. They will
just give you the
"ABC123".
