Barcodet™ makes it possible for 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. Multiple-height fonts are used for display and printing. The smaller typefaces allow you to use bar codes wherever vertical space is limited, such as on lists and small labels. All fonts may be scaled to precise dimensions.

For generation of basic variable-height bar codes WITHOUT using fonts, see Texcodet.

ALL FileMaker Pro files are completely unlocked (you have full access to the source code) and there are no multi-user network restrictions.

Barcodet includes EVERYTHING shown below. (Requires FileMaker Pro 7 or later. Files for FileMaker Pro 5-6 available on request.)
 

  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.
 

  Code 39 (Professional)

Includes support for full ASCII input, FACT Data Identifer prefixes, and Mod 43 error checking. Requires the Code 39 module.
 

  Code 39 Thin Fonts

A set of extra-thin Code 39 fonts for printing compressed-width bar codes. Requires either the Code 39 or Code 39 (Professional) modules.
 

  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.
 

  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.
 

  Code 128 (Professional)

Capable of performing automatic code optimization to condense lengthy number strings. Application identifiers are also fully supported, as are all three "A", "B", and "C" code variants. Requires the Code 128 module.
 

  Code 128 Thin Fonts

A set of extra-thin Code 128 fonts for printing compressed-width bar codes. Requires either the Code 128 or Code 128 (Professional) modules.
 

  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).
 

  UPC and EAN (Professional)

        

Includes optional 2-digit and 5-digit extensions and the compact UPC-E and EAN-8 bar codes. Requires the UPC and EAN modules.
 

  Interleaved 2 of 5

Interleaved 2 of 5 is a rugged, 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 if a condensed numeric bar code is needed.
 

  Interleaved 2 of 5 (Professional)

Includes optional check digits and both open and closed bearer bars. Requires the Interleaved 2 of 5 module.
 

  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.
 

  Code 11

Code 11 is a simple, variable length symbology that includes the numbers 0-9, plus a hyphen, and offers double Mod 11 error checking. This code is used for labeling telecommunications equipment and is also widely used in other applications that require a secure, compact numeric bar code.
 

  Code 25

Code 25 (also know as Code 2 of 5) includes the numbers 0-9. This code is often used for inventory and warehousing and is commonly found on photo finishing envelopes, airline tickets, baggage tags, and shipping labels.
 

  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, the ISBN is not a bar code at all, consisting rather of the letters "ISBN" and 10 numerical digits and generally displayed using an OCR-A typeface. However, the ISBN is frequently encoded into a 13-digit Bookland EAN bar code similar to those found on retail products. Other publication types that may also be represented using EAN bar codes include the ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), an 8-digit code for use with serial publications, and the ISMN (International Standard Music Number), a 10-digit code used for marking printed music publications.
 

  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. Both the commonly used Mod16 check digit system and the unique 13-digit format favored by Ameritech Library Services are supported.
 

  PostNET (USPS Postal)

PostNET bar codes help to ensure more reliable and faster mail delivery. This module accommodates 5-digit, 9-digit (Zip+4) and 11-digit Delivery Point (DPBC) postal codes. It can automatically reformat addresses as well as replace typical street designators with standard USPS abbreviations, i.e., "Avenue" becomes "Ave", "Street" becomes "St", "Turnpike" becomes "Tpke", and so on. Facing Identification Marks (FIMs) are included for preparation of automated reply mail.
 

  Royal Mail (United Kingdom Postal)

Royal Mail bar codes, also known as RM4SCC bar codes, are used both for mailings within the UK and for sending mail into the UK from other countries. This module can automatically reformat addresses and replace county names with postal abbreviations, e.g., "Hertfordshire" becomes "Herts" and "West Glamorgan" becomes "W Glam". It can also remove counties that do not have to be included in addresses when mailing to certain unique post towns.
 

  Specialty Typefaces - MICR, CMC7, OCR-A, and OCR-B

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.

Specialty typefaces may be used with any application program.
