Er, it's a little more complicated than that.

A valid barcode may need to be encoded with start and stop
characters, or it may have a checksum or any number of other
features. It all depends on the barcode format in use.

But it really isn't terribly complex, actually.

Its not free but I have had good luck with WASP Fontware.

PS: The only barcode font that doesn't need preprocessing is code 39.

Try this: But it is not free. I searched the web half a year ago. There are
several companies that offer programs and fonts for barcode in windows apps.
I ended up with this one, and it works fine:

My program right now generates USPS style shipping label using System.Drawing.Graphics. It works fine except that the printer prints really slowly. I want to make my program take advantage of true type fonts. So I assume it's possible to send Font Type and the text to the printer, and the printer should digest and print faster. Still, barcode info needs to be sent as an image. When I print fifty copies of the same label it prints really...

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to solve a particular problem. A client wants to print barcode labels from their (web/php based application). The barcode labels are very small, so I'm guessing that doing a screendump via a standard inkjet isn't going to work (i.e. might need somehow to print to a barcode printer!) Any ideas where to start? Thanks in advance.

I C# code prints very slow as compared to a third party barcode printing software. That software prints approximately 10 labels in 2 seconds while my C# code prints 10 labels in 5 to 6 seconds. And this differences increases with the increase number of labels. The code is as follwods: Here rdr = OleDbDataReader Font is Times New Roman, 12pt

Hi everyone! Does anyone know how can I do barcode printing? First of all, I know I have to write a client executable, but how do I communicate with the thermal printer? Using software the company I work for needs to buy like Seagull Bartender, or some other label printing software or can I get access to the printer directly?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
