For Immediate Release: Contact: Roxanne Bruzas IDAutomation.com, Inc. http://www.idautomation.com/ 550 N. Reo Street; Suite 300 Tampa, FL 33609 813-514-2564 E-Mail: admin@idautomation.com February 24, 2015 (Tampa, FL.) IDAutomation.com announces an update to their GS1 DataBar Barcode Font, which allows easy generation of DataBar barcodes from a font. DataBar encodes GTIN, UPC and EAN data and may include additional information such as weight, expiration date and serial numbers in a single barcode. Encoding additional information in POS barcodes may help solve problems where this type of information needs to be known or verified. The IDAutomation GS1 DataBar Barcode Font Package includes TrueType, OpenType, PostScript and PCL fonts that support all DataBar variants including Omni-directional, Limited, Stacked and Expanded types. The download is available at http://www.idautomation.com/barcode-fonts/databar/ and includes encoders in VB, Java, C++ and .NET for Windows, MAC, Linux and Unix operating systems. The Windows setup application provided in the download includes examples for Excel, Word, Access, and Crystal Reports. An online encoder is also available to generate barcodes one at a time for desktop publishing applications (such as PhotoShop) and is compatible with the MAC. Updates for the GS1 DataBar Barcode Font Package i include: * Improved font installer support for Windows 8 and Server 2012. * Resolved a minor truncation issue within a few sizes of the fonts. * Added symbol encoded fonts. * Embedded time-stamped digital signatures within the TTF and OTF fonts. * Added Crystal Reports Font Formulas and FileMaker examples to the package. * Added two silent Installers, a standard install and another for symbol fonts for Developer Licenses and above. * Updated documentation. Licenses for the font package start at $199 USD. IDAutomation provides barcode fonts, components and software applications that support several barcode types.
