| "The Code 39 Font provided by IDAutomation.com 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 IDAutomation.com 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 |
| “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 |

Code 39 Font Specifications and Font Name Descriptions |
The
X dimension (width of the narrow bar) is listed below for various point
sizes. The N Dimension (narrow to wide ratio) is 3:1 which is recommended
by international standards. If an N dimension of 2 or 2.5 is desired, IDAutomation
also offers the Universal
Barcode Font Advantage™, which offers additional N Dimensions of 2:1
and 2.5:1 and is designed to create multiple barcode types as a single font.
IDAutomation’s advanced Code 39 fonts have been designed to print dependably at six points or greater, provided that the scanner can read the symbol. IDAutomation has been able to dependably scan this font with the IDAutomation USB Barcode Scanner when printed at six points on a 600 DPI laser printer.

the point size that has the X dimension closest to what is needed
and use the formula below to find the point size needed: |

NOTICE: When using a printer with less than 600 DPI, the following point sizes should be used to create accurate barcodes:
| 203 DPI Printer (thermal printer) | 300 DPI Printer |
| 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36... | 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36... |
Several versions of the Code 39 barcode fonts are provided for various implementations. The last character in the Code-39 barcode font name determines the height of the barcode, with the shortest being "XS" and the tallest being "XXL". Because each single font may be printed at various point sizes, there are several combinations of heights that can be produced. IDAutomation recommends the IDAutomationC39M font if it is difficult to determine which to use.
