Title: Barcoding on report
Post by: gatorfe on 03 Jan 2014 02:33:08 PM
We have a varible that contains the activity code of a work order. Since IDAutomationC128 is the only font available (I don't see any IDAutomationC3of9), we use the IDAutomation128S and place an * before and after the variable field.  However while the bar code does print, it is not in 3 of 9 code and does not scan.  Thank you in advance for any suggestions.  Pic is included with details.

It seems like getting the IDAutomationC3of9 font to show up is the best solution. Does this help any?
