How To Use the Online Barcode Font Encoder Tool

by Nate Schubert

Provided by IDAutomation, the Online Barcode Font Encoder is a free tool that can be used to easily format data into a special string that will generate an accurate barcode when combined with a variety of common IDAutomation barcode fonts. This tool is an excellent resource for users who need to generate barcodes with fonts in environments not supported by the many font encoder tools we have available today.

Encoding data using the Online Barcode Font Encoder is easy. Simply enter the data you would like to encode in your barcode and select the appropriate barcode type. It is important to remember that you must have either the demo or purchased IDAutomation barcode font package installed on your system. After selecting the barcode type, your specially-encoded text string will appear in the Encoded Text field. Copy and paste this data into the application or environment of your choice, highlight it and then select the appropriate barcode font in your application to generate a readable barcode.
