This package is much more than just a few OCR, MICR and bar code fonts. With this package, you receive several different versions of each font type in TrueType format for support of any OS including Windows, Macintosh, DOS and UNIX. You also get the rights to use the barcode font tools such as MS Office Macros, DLLs, Crystal Reports UFL and a check digit calculator and printing application; LotusScript add-ins for Lotus Notes and Approach; and source code in Visual Basic, JAVA, C++ and ANSI C to help you integrate the bar-code fonts into your applications. In addition to this, the MICR E13B font is supplied with print specifications and VB source code from a working check printing application.

MICR & OCR Fonts Available

• MICR E-13B -- the font used on bank checks in the US and several other countries.
  
• MICR CMC-7 -- the font used on bank cheques in France, Mexico and most Spanish speaking countries.
  
• OCR-A -- a standard character set that is very easy for optical character recognition systems to read. It is commonly printed at 9 points for mail addressing to increase accuracy.
• OCR-B -- a standard character set that is easier for humans to read but is still accurately read by computers.

Barcode Fonts Available

• Code 128 -- a high-density alpha-numeric barcode with three character sets. Our Code 128 barcode fonts allow you to print barcodes for Code 128, UCC-128, EAN-128, SSCC-18 and SCC-14 specifications. Below is a Code 128 sample.
• Code 39 -- a self-checking alpha-numeric barcode encoding letters, symbols and numbers. It is sometimes referred to as the 3 of 9 Code. Human readable versions of this font are also provided. Below is a Code 39 sample.
• Code 93 -- similar to Code 39 but requires two check characters.
• Interleaved 2 of 5 -- a numeric only barcode used for interleaving pairs of numbers in a high density barcode format.
• Code 2 of 5 non-interleaved -- a numeric barcode encoding numbers only.
• Codabar -- a self-checking numeric barcode encoding numbers and four characters with a slightly higher density than Code 39. Human readable versions of this font are also provided.
• Code 11 -- high density numeric barcode used mostly in labeling telecommunications components.
• MSI / Plessey -- a barcode designed by the Plessey Company in England and has been used primarily in libraries and retail applications such as grocery store shelves. Human readable versions of this font are also provided.
  
• PLANET -- used for mail tracking in the USA.
• POSTNET -- used for mail addressing and sortation in the USA.
• RM4SCC -- used in the UK and several countries for mail addressing and sortation.
  
• UPC / EAN -- this font is used to print UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8 and EAN-13 bar codes; usually used in the retail industry. Below is a sample of the UPC-A implementation of this font.

Documentation and Tools Provided in the Packages

Some barcode fonts such as Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, UPC and EAN require a checksum character (also called the check digit) to be calculated and appended to the end of the data and before the stop character. This character, along with the start and stop characters, helps the barcode scanner verify that it has read the barcode correctly. To help users integrate barcode fonts into their applications, we provide several font automation tools with your purchase. These include MS Office Macros for Word, Excel and Access, Add-ins for Lotus Notes and Approach, Visual Basic, ANSI C and JAVA Source Code, ActiveX DLLs, Crystal Reports User Function Libraries (UFLs) and a check digit calculation application with Visual Basic source code. The DLLs, macros, UFLs and code provided automatically format the start, stop and check characters to the barcode fonts.
