Our Linear Bar Code ActiveX Control supports several linear barcode symbologies including Code 39, Extended Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, LOGMARS, Codabar, UPC-A, UPC-E, MSI, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 11, Code 93, Industrial 2 of 5 Planet and POSTNET. Our ActiveX Controls are easy to use "drag and drop" automation tools that will work in any Windows# application that supports ActiveX control technology including Microsoft# Access, MS Office, Word, Excel, Visual Basic, C++, Visual FoxPro and Internet Explorer web pages. This control does not require barcode fonts because it generates a Windows Metafile Image. Our advanced control also works as a barcode DLL that can print, return or save a WMF image

IDautomation Barcode Linear + 2D ActiveX Control Symbology specific notes:

UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8 and EAN-13 - Enter the data to be encoded without any spaces or dashes. You can enter the +2 and +5 add-on codes by just adding them to the end of the string. If the check digit is added, it will be ignored and regenerated to ensure that the code can be scanned. If you rotate the barcode by 270, you may need to increase the top margin. For UPC-E, you must enter the full 11 or 12 digit UPC-A code and the barcode will be compressed if possible.

POSTNET and PLANET - When using the POSTNET barcode, the NarrowBarWidth of .045 CM should be used. For barcodes to be acceptable to the US post offices, they must be between 22 and 24 bars per inch. Setting the NarrowBarWidth to .045 should produce about 23 bars per inch. You should adjust this setting for your printer if your results are different.

Code 128 - The "AUTO" setting for Code 128 will automatically switch character sets in the barcode as necessary. Our implementation of Code 128 auto has many options as described below:

Encoding functions such as tabs and returns in Code128:
-This product allows easy encoding of returns, tabs and other functions such as GS and RS functions between fields in a single barcode symbol. In Code 128 Auto, you can use the format ãddd (where ã is ASCII 0227 and ddd is a 3 digit number) to specify the ASCII code of the character to be encoded. For example, Codeã009Barã013 will create a barcode that encodes CodeBar. For other functions, refer to the ASCII chart.
-Encoding UCC/EAN-128:
-To encode alpha-numeric UCC/EAN-128, the character set is set to "AUTO" for automatic. Then, ASCII 202 or character Ê is entered as the FNC1 before each AI. For example, the UCC number of (8100) 712345 (21) 12WH5678 should be entered as: Ê8100712345Ê2112WH5678. In most cases the AIs will be properly represented in the human readable text. If the parenthesis is not around the correct number for the AI, enter the following extended ASCII character as the FNC1 for the correct number of digits in your AI:
-ASCII 212 = 2 digits
-ASCII 213 = 3 digits
-ASCII 214 = 4 digits
-ASCII 215 = 5 digits
-For example, to encode 77(1234)56, you would enter 77Ö123456.
