The IDAutomation Universal Barcode Font Advantage ™ is much more than just a few fonts. The package includes 7 different heights of the universal barcode font as well as the rights to use the font tools, macros and source code for integration into your application. Details of the package are as follows:

• Font Tools Included - for easy integration into applications, we provide several font tools that are free to use with our fonts. Our font tools automatically convert the data that is to be encoded in the barcode to a text string that when combined with our universal bar code font, will create a correct barcode. Source Code is also available in several languages for custom integration.
• A Single Font that creates Multiple Barcode Types - supports Code 128, UCC-128, EAN-128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 39, USPS Postnet, Planet, MSI and Codabar. This package does not support UPCA, UPCE, EAN13 or EAN8 barcodes because of the required OCR text characters that must appear below this barcode type. If you have a need for these barcode types, the UPC/EAN Barcode Font Advantage is available and must be purchased separately.
• Multiple Language and Locale Support - a single universal font can be used on multiple operating systems and locales, including Double Byte versions of Windows, such as those used in China and Japan, as well as other Asian locale settings.
• Cross-platform Support - the unique encoding in our font allows cross-platform support between UNIX, Macintosh and Windows® systems.
• Three Wide to Narrow Ratios Provided - in this package, a single font can provide wide to narrow ratios of 2:1, 2.5:1 and 3:1 for the Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar and MSI symbologies. The ratio is changed by a parameter in the function of the font tool.
• UCC/EAN-128 Support - when using our universal fonts for UCC-128 or EAN-128 barcodes, every barcode must begin with a Start C character followed by a (fnc1) "function code one" character. Our IDAutomation_Uni_C128() function in our font tools provides an automated method for doing this by inserting an ASCII202 character for each AI represented. Additionally, when printed at 12 points our "IDAutomation Uni M" font is specifically designed for UCC/EAN 128 barcodes where a size of 1/2 inch tall and an X dimension of 10 mils is required.
• Seven Different Heights Provided - the fonts are scaleable and should be printed at the correct font size to suit your application and scanning equipment. In addition to using the point size to set the font width, seven (7) versions of the fonts are provided to support different height requirements. The last characters in the barcode font name determines the height of the barcode with the shortest being IDAutomation Uni XXS and the tallest being IDAutomation Uni XXL.
• Human Readable Text - because of the unique encoding of the universal barcode font, it is recommended to print the data that is encoded directly below the barcode if it is needed. This can be easily accomplished by adding a text field and including the source data in that field.
• Industry Standards - the universal barcode font recreates barcodes that conform directly to international AIM and ISO standards.
• Low Resolution Printer Support - the universal barcode fonts are designed to print precisely on 203 DPI thermal printers and 300 DPI printers, in addition to higher resolution printers. When printing at 203 DPI, the point size chosen should be a multiple of 6. When printing at 300 DPI, the point size chosen should be a multiple of 4.
• USPS Support - when printed at 16 points, the "IDAutomation Uni L" font will produce the exact dimensions for UCC/EAN Code 128 required by the USPS special services, which is a height of .75" and an X dimension of .013".
• Canada Post Support - when printed at 21 points, the "IDAutomation Uni L" font will produce the dimensions required by the CANADA POST, which is a height of 1" and an X dimension of .017".
• Easy Function Encoding Capability - our font tools for Code 128 provide easy methods of encoding functions such as returns and tabs in barcodes.
• Embeddable Functionality - the fonts included with the Developer License allow embedding. Our fonts may be embedded into PDFs, Word documents and other files that support embedding so users that do not have the fonts installed can still print the barcode.
• Source Code Available - source code is available in several languages including C++ and Visual Basic with the purchase of a Developer License.
