How to Install and Use the IDautomation EZ Font Package:

Step 1 - Download and install the package. After installing the package you should be able to access the samples and used manual by choosing Start - Programs and looking in the appropriate group.
Step 2 - Use the fonts to create barcodes in your application. If you are creating barcodes that will encode letters and numbers, use Code 39. If you are encoding numbers only, use Codabar.

How to Use Code 39 in Any Application - our Code 39 fonts are easy to use in applications and can be entered directly from the keyboard. All barcodes require a start and stop character and these can also be entered from the keyboard. For example, to create a barcode that encodes the data "1234ABCD" with the Code 39 Font, you: (1) select the "IDAutomationHC39S" font from the list of fonts in your application; (2) type the start character, in this case it is "!"; (3) type the data, in this case it is "1234ABCD"; (4) type the stop character, in this case it is "!"; and then change the font back to the default font of your document.
Therefore, to create the scannable barcode you should have the text !1234ABCD! , then you must highlight this text and select the IDAutomationHC39S font for it.
If you do not want the "*" to show up in the human readable version of the fonts, use ( and ) as the start and stop character. To print the barcode symbol representing a space you will need to type or print "=" (the equal character) instead of a space character or use our Font Automation Tools to perform automatic conversion. For this reason you should try not to use the space character unless it is required.
How to Use Codabar in Any Application - our Codabar fonts are easy to use in applications and can be entered directly from the keyboard. All barcodes require a start and stop character and these can also be entered from the keyboard. Codabar uses the letters A, B, C or D as start and stop characters. For example, to create a barcode that encodes the data "1234" with the Codabar Font, you: (1) select the "IDAutomationHCBS" font from the list of fonts in your application; (2) type the start character, in this case it is "A"; (3) type the data, in this case it is "1234"; (4) type the stop character, in this case it is "B"; and then change the font back to the default font of your document.
Calculated Field Use for Code 39 - Our fonts can be printed or displayed as calculated fields in applications by (1) selecting the Code 39 font for the field and (2) using a formula to add the start and stop characters into the field. Tabs and returns can be added (in extended39 if your scanner is programmed for it) between fields by inserting "$I" for a tab and "$M" for a return between fields as in the 2nd Microsoft Access barcode example. This can make scanning data into multiple fields easier because a tab will usually move the cursor to the next field.
Microsoft Access - place this formula into the Control Source field:
=("!"&[Table.DataField1]&"!")
Microsoft Access - places a tab (in extended39) between fields:
=("!"&[Table.DataField1] &"$I"&[Table.DataField2]&"!")
Microsoft Excel - enter in another cell, text data from cell C3: =("!"&C3&"!")
Microsoft Word Mail-merge - enter the ! character directly before and after the merge field:
!!
Lotus Notes - place into the formula field:
"*"+DataField1+"*"
Lotus Notes - a formula that places a return function (in extended39) between fields:
"*"+DataField1+"$M"+DataField2+"*"
Lotus Approach - field formula: Combine('*',DataField,'*')

Lotus Approach - this field formula 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&"*")
Lotus 123 for Windows - converts a number in cell C9 to text for barcoding: ("*"&@STRING(C9,0)&"*")
Clarion: loc:barcode='*'&left(clip(DataField))&'*'
ClarisWorks Spreadsheet - enter in another cell, text data from cell C3: ("*"&C3&"*")
QuickBooks - refer to our QuickBooks Barcode Tutorial.
Advanced Tools Provided - if you need to calculate checksum characters for Code 39 (such as for HIBC LIC and LOGMARS), we provide the Code39Mod43() function in our font automation tools. These advanced tools consist of MS Office Macros for Word, Excel and Access, LotusScript for Lotus Notes and Approach, Visual Basic, C++ and Java Source Code, ActiveX DLLs, Crystal Reports User Function Libraries (UFLs) and a check digit calculation application. These tools are free to use with our font products and they are designed for technical users and programmers. The DLLs, macros, UFLs and code provided automatically format the start, stop and check characters to the barcode font
