numberED capabilities

bar code numbering

numberED provides a strong bar code capability which includes numbering numbering and variable data.

The bar code capability in numberED permits you to create either fixed or counting bar codes in more than 15 different types. Each type supports variant lengths and sizes. The bar code capability can be used with the other capabilities of numberED with everything printed in ONE pass. Below is a list of the bar code types supported.

NOTE: numberED installation provides all the bar code fonts needed to draw the bar codes.

Be sure to view the training document on bar codes in the Training menu above. Also check the Examples menu.
