Bar Code

Syntax​

Bar Code            field_name

Parameters​

  • field_name: The name of the field (e.g., No.) whose value will be encoded in the bar code.

Description​

Generates a "3 of 9" style bar code based on the data in a specified field.

Remarks​

This command must be used in conjunction with the Labels command. It does not work on dot-matrix printers. The generated bar code occupies the vertical space of two lines of text (at 6 lines per inch), which must be accounted for when using Line Feed commands to design the label.

Examples​

To print a label with a bar code of the bib number:

Line Feed           2
