• Easy To Use: IDAutomation's Code 39 Fonts may be generated from the keyboard, or used in a calculated field to dynamically produce multiple barcode symbols. To manually create a barcode that encodes the data "BARCODE39", perform the following:
      1. Select Code 39 from the list of fonts
      2. Enter * as the start character
      3. Enter the "BARCODE39" which is the data to be encoded
      4. Enter * as the stop character
• Lower-Case Fonts: A full set of Extended Code 39 Fonts are included for encoding lower-case characters in addition to upper-case characters and numbers.
  • Video Tutorial: Creating Extended Code 39 Barcodes With Fonts
• Font Tools Included: If a checksum is needed for Code 39 (such as for HIBC, LIC and LOGMARS), IDAutomation provides the Code39Mod43() function in all font tools.
• Microsoft Office Compatibility: The exclamation (!) and asterisk (*) characters in the Code 39 barcode font are used as start and stop characters and therefore should not be part of the data in the bar code.
  • The asterisk * is commonly used as the start & stop character with Code 39, however, this can cause problems because some applications, such as Microsoft Word, will treat any text surrounded with asterisks as bold text.

    "The Code 39 Barcode Font provided by IDAutomation enabled us to ship resources quicker, with less errors and less human intervention. The process is largely due to the 'scanable' Packing Slip ID merged to a MS Word document with the Code 39 Font for the ID Bar Code. Other processes we considered required programming solutions prior to printing packing slips in order to achieve the checksum value required. Using the Code 39 Font, no programming was required apart from setting up the MS Word Template with the required MS Excel spreadsheet." - Al Ebel, IS Manager, Focus on the Family

• Space Character Support: When the Code 39 barcode font is selected, the space character will not produce a barcode but a space.
  • To print the barcode symbol representing a space, it will be necessary to type or print "=" (equal) instead of a space character or use the Font Encoder Tools to perform automatic conversion.
  • Video Tutorial: Encoding Space Characters in Code 39 Barcodes.
  • IDAutomation also provides a Code39() function that converts spaces to the "=" character and automatically adds the start and stop characters to the barcode font.
    
• Industry Standard Support: These Code 39 barcode fonts were developed according to AIM, ANSI and European EN 800 standards.
• Flexibility: The parentheses () may also be used instead of “!” or “*” as the start and stop code to eliminate the “*” from appearing in the human readable version of the fonts.
• Advanced Font Design: These Code 39 fonts have been specially designed to produce dependable barcodes of all sizes. The IDAutomation Linear USB Scanner easily and dependably scans the Code 39 barcode when printed as small as 6 points.
• Low Resolution Printer Support: IDAutomation's Code 39 Barcode Fonts are designed to print precisely on 203 DPI thermal printers and 300 DPI printers in addition to higher resolution printers.
• Calculated Field Use: Code 39 Barcodes may be dynamically created from a calculated field in a text box by using a formula that appends the start and stop characters and selecting the barcode font for the text box. This is possible in several applications including the following:
  • Active Reports: Field1.Text ="*"&Field&"*" example...

    “For the first time, I was able to download a package that provided me with all the requirements for my project, contained in one package. This font package enables us to efficiently track the high throughput of our vaccine production.” - Burke Squires, Eliance Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas

  • Clarion: loc:barcode='*'&left(clip(DataField))&'*'
  • Crystal Reports: Enter "*" & Field & "*" in a calculated field.
  • FileMaker Pro: Enter "*" & Field & "*" in a calculated field so that the asterisk is appended to the beginning and ending of the data from the source field.
  • Lotus Notes: A formula that places a return function (in extended39) between fields: "*" + DataField1 + "$M" + DataField2 + "*"
  • Lotus Approach: Combine('*', DataField, '*') - Here is an approach formula that also replaces spaces with the "=" character as required: Combine('*', Translate(DataField,' ','='), '*')
  • Lotus 123 for Windows: Enter in another cell, text data from cell C3: ("*"&C3&"*") - this formula converts a number in cell C9 to text for barcoding: ("*"&@STRING(C9,0)&"*")
  • Microsoft® Access: =("!"&[Table.Field1]&"!") - This formula places a tab (in extended39) between fields: =("!"&[Table.Field1] & "$I" & [Table.Field2] & "!")
  • Microsoft® Excel: Enter in another cell, text data from cell C3: =("!"&C3&"!")
  • Oracle Reports and Forms - Place an asterisk before and after the data and apply IDAutomation's barcode font to the field.
  • QuickBooks: Refer to IDAutomation's QuickBooks Barcode Tutorial.
• Multiple Formats Provided: When a license for the Code 39 font is purchased, all below versions are included:
  • TrueType fonts in PC and Macintosh format. The TrueType TTF fonts are compatible with Macintosh OS X and all versions of Microsoft Windows, including Pocket PC. Macintosh formatted MTT TrueType fonts are compatible with Macintosh System 7.1 and above.
  • OpenType OTF fonts with PostScript outlines. These are compatible with Windows®, Macintosh OS X and other systems supporting the OpenType format.
  • PostScript Type 1 fonts in binary, ASCII and Macintosh versions.
  • PCL laserjet soft fonts in 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 points.
  • With the purchase of a Developer License, the fonts may be converted to other formats as necessary including TrueDoc and OpenType.
  • Font Installation Guidelines are provided in the documentation.

Code 39 Barcode Overview

Code 39 is an easy-to-print barcode commonly used for various barcoding labels such as name badges, inventory and industrial applications. The character set consists of barcode symbols representing uppercase letters, numbers, the space character and the following symbols: - .  $  /  +  %.

Code 39 is the easiest of all alpha-numeric barcodes to use, and is designed for character self-checking, eliminating the requirement for check character calculations.

Code 39 is used for several standards including:

• LOGMARS (Logistics Applications of Automated Marking and Reading Symbols) is an application of Code 39 used by the United States Department of Defense that recommends a check character. LOGMARS is defined by Military Standard MIL-STD-1189B and others such as MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-129N and MIL-STD-2073-1C. The variety of fonts provided with the Code39 font package and IDAutomation's Code39Mod43() function in IDAutomation's font encoder tools allows for implementation of this standard.
• HIBC (Health Industry Barcode) should use Code 39 to label all health care products.  IDAutomation's 3 to 1 bar ratio in the Code 39 fonts and IDAutomation's Code39Mod43() function in the font encoder tools allow for implementation of this standard also. Please refer to HIBC for details on formatting this barcode.
