Easy-to-use Self-Checking Barcode Fonts
Self-checking fonts offer easy integration with many applications without the requirement of check digit calculations. Easy implementation is accomplished by appending an asterisk before and after the data encoded to create a complete barcode symbol, as demonstrated in the following Excel Barcode Example.
