Bar Codes

The bar code program we have included easily displays and prints bar codes from
your Windows based word processing program. Install the dBest Barcode Package
from the CD. When the CD startup screen appears upon inserting the CD in the
CD drive, simply click on Install dBest Barcode Package and follow the on-screen
instructions.
You can get all of the technical information about the included bar codes in the
Bar Code Font Library >>> Programmers Guide once the bar code software is installed.
NOTE
The dBest Barcode Font Library supports 11 standard bar code styles: Code 39; Extended
Code 39, Interleaved 2/5; Code 128; UCC 128; Codabar; UPC A and E formats, EAN 8 and
13 formats and PostNet. Each bar code style supports a different set of ASCII characters
and is used for different situations or industrial applications. For instance: Code 39 supports
uppercase characters, numeric characters and a few incidental characters while Interleaved
2/5 only supports numeric data, but does so in a compressed format. You should choose
which bar code style to use in your application based upon the type of data you need to
support or by other requirements placed upon your application.
