James	Best Answer Barcode fonts require their data to be encoded by proprietary encoding functions to form a scannable barcode – it is not possible to directly map a character to a ‘bar’. We recommend going to your software vendor and seeing if they are able to use a programming or scripting language (such as Java, JavaScript, or VB/VBA). This would allow your people to use an officially supported font encoder. When generating GS1 symbols, IDAutomation recommends testing the result with the Barcode Decoder App which parses out GS1 data to verify proper encoding. Posted 7.4 year(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse
