Codabar barcode generation is available in IDAutomation Barcode Fonts, Components and Applications. Codabar is a symbology that easily encodes numbers without the use of check characters.
- Using Codabar Barcode Fonts with a font encoder tool returns text formatted to accurate Codabar barcode specifications.
- Using Uni_Codabar with a universal barcode font encoder returns text formatted to the Universal Barcode Font, which is a single cross-platform font (Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX) that will create several barcode types from a single font.
- The Codabar barcode option in all Components and Applications will produce a barcode image.
- Nat_Codabar creates a “Native” barcode from pure text without requiring the installation of any additional fonts or components. These options exist in the Native Generators for Access, Crystal Reports, FileMaker, JavaScript and Oracle Reports.
