Barcodet™

Various modules allow you to create high-quality bar codes from data stored in your FileMaker Pro databases. There are no plug-ins to cause compatibility problems and no scripts needed to generate the bar codes. Whether data is typed, pasted, or imported, the bar codes appear instantly. Multi-height fonts are included to let you set specific sizes for display and printing and may be scaled to precise dimensions.

All files are completely unlocked for easy integration into existing databases.
 

  Code 39

Code 39 (also known as Code 3 of 9) is one of today's most popular general-purpose alphanumeric bar codes. It features upper-case letters, numbers, and eight (8) frequently used symbols, including spaces, periods, the dollar sign [ $ ], percent symbol [ % ], plus sign [ + ], hyphen [ - ], and slash [ / ]. Code 39 is reliable, easy to scan, and tolerant of minor printing imperfections. The professional module has support for full ASCII input, FACT Data Identifer prefixes, and Mod 43 error checking. Includes both regular and extra-thin fonts (for printing compressed-width bar codes). Also includes Webcodet™, which generates high-quality, basic Code 39 barcode graphic images with a click of the button. These images are easily copied into other programs and can be viewed or modified by those who do not have FileMaker Pro (graphic images are universal). Anyone with a browser or an art program, for example, can display and print them. And finally, this module also includes Texcodet™ Code 39, basic variable-height bar codes generated entirely without barcode fonts.
 

  Code 128

Code 128 is a full-ASCII alphanumeric symbology that accommodates upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and other characters. It is highly popular and is used worldwide for many different types of applications. Secure error checking is provided by the use of weighted Mod 103 check digits and the professional module is capable of performing automatic code optimization to condense lengthy number strings. Application identifiers are fully supported, as are all three "A", "B", and "C" code variants. Includes both regular and extra-thin fonts (for printing compressed-width bar codes) and Texcodet™ Code 128, basic variable-height bar codes generated entirely without barcode fonts.
 

  UPC and EAN

        

UPC (12-digit) and EAN (13-digit) bar codes are used to mark retail consumer items. UPC codes are used principally in the U.S. and Canada whereas EAN codes are used worldwide (newly issued UPC numbers use the EAN format). Includes optional 2-digit and 5-digit extensions and compact UPC-E and EAN-8 bar codes.
 

  Interleaved 2 of 5

      

Interleaved 2 of 5 is a rugged, highly compact, variable-length, numeric bar code. It is frequently used for container and carton labeling, warehousing, shipping, and other industrial applications (including the medical field), but is also an ideal choice wherever a highly condensed numeric bar code is needed. Includes optional check digits, open and closed bearer bars, and Texcodet™ ITF, basic variable-height bar codes generated entirely without barcode fonts.
 

  Codabar

Codabar, also known as NW-7, USD-4, and 2 of 7, accommodates the numbers 0-9 and six other frequently used characters. Codabar has proven ideal for information processing and is used extensively in the retail trade for price labeling. It is a favorite of libraries, blood banks, photo finishing labs, overnight shippers, and the military. Supports both the commonly used Mod 16 check digit system and the unique 13-digit format preferred by the Ameritech Library Services.

  MSI Plessey

MSI Plessey is a numeric bar code symbology that is widely used for labeling shelves, tracking publications, and ID cards. A primary application of this bar code is inventory control. Automatically performs double Mod 10 error checking for increased scanning accuracy. Includes Texcodet™ MSI Plessey, variable-height bar codes generated entirely without barcode fonts.
 

  Code 93

Code 93 is a full-ASCII alphanumeric symbology designed as a high density complement to Code 39. It is highly efficient when processing mixed input. Accommodates upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and other characters. Secure error checking is provided by the use of double Mod 47 check digits. Includes Texcodet™ Code 93, variable-height bar codes generated entirely without barcode fonts.
 

  Code 11 and Code 25

      

Code 11 is a variable length symbology that includes the numbers 0-9, plus a hyphen, and offers secure double Mod 11 error checking. Code 25 (also known as Code 2 of 5) includes only the numbers 0-9. Commonly used for inventory and warehousing, it is also frequently found on photo finishing envelopes, airline tickets, baggage tags, and shipping labels. Also includes Texcodet™ Code 11 and Code 25, variable-height bar codes generated without barcode fonts.
 

  ISBN (Bookland EAN), ISSN, and ISMN

The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a short, machine-readable symbology that is used to clearly and unambiguously mark books. Strictly speaking, it is not a bar code at all, instead consisting of the letters "ISBN" and 13 (formerly 10) numerical digits and generally displayed using an OCR-A typeface. Nevertheless, it is frequently represented by a 13-digit Bookland EAN bar code like those found on retail products. The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is an 8-digit code for use with serial publications, while the ISMN (International Standard Music Number) is a a 10-digit code used for marking printed music publications. Similarly, both of these numbers also can be represented by 13-digit EAN bar codes.
 

  Specialty Typefaces (FREE when you purchase any of the above modules)

MICR (also known as E13B) and CMC7 are magnetic ink character recognition typefaces used to print encodings on documents. This typeface allows magnetic pulses to be read without error. It contains the numbers 0-9 and four special "transit", "amount", "on-us", and "dash" symbols. The CMC7 typeface, on the other hand, is composed of patterned vertical bars similar to a bar code. It consists of the full alphabet, the numbers 0-9, and five special symbols.

OCR-A and OCR-B are optical character recognition typefaces used for document scanning. Both are used extensively in finance and banking. They are also a popular choice among graphic designers for projects that call for a "techno" look. Each typeface includes the full alphabet, the numbers 0-9, plus a selection of special characters.
