Introduction
What you get with the Carolina Barcode Font demo
All of our fonts include tall, short, with and without text underneath.  In order to see these extra styles, simply change the font style to Bold, Bold-Italic, or Italic.  It will not change the font to be bold face, etc, but will change the look of the font to represent the codes
below.

*Please note that the codes in this document had to be converted to bitmaps which do not have the precision that the TrueType font
does, therefore they may or may not scan.

Creating 3 of 9 barcodes
To start off, you must use the asterisk (*) to start and stop your codes.  If you want to scan "123" then you must enter *123*. 
Without the asterisk, you codes will not recognized by the scanner.
The asterisk looks like this character here.. ../images/carolina/Image9.gif (246 bytes) The asterisk will also provide a border for your codes. ../images/carolina/correctcode.gif (1117 bytes)
The second most important thing is to make sure that the printed results have enough white space between the bars to be read
properly by the scanner.  If your codes do not scan the first time, increase the point size.  Check to make sure the asterisk is starting
and ending the code, and that there is no spaces in the code.  If you need to enter a space character, use the ~ to replace the
space

Before you start...

Theory:

Carolina knows that a sentence is a barcode sentence only if you put "*" before and after it
Problem and solution:
There is a feature in Microsoft Word 97 and higher that keeps code 3 of 9 from being scanned.  By default, if you put the * around any characters, it will boldface that item, and remove the * characters.  Since code 3 of 9 requires the * to start and stop the code, this feature needs to be turned off.
Choose [Format] from the menu bar, followed by
 [AutoFormat...]

Choose [Options...] ../images/carolina/word_autoformat.gif (3371 bytes)
On the [AutoFormat] tab, make sure that the *Bold* option
 is UNCHECKED.   This window shows the correct way.

Standard 3 of 9 Characters
Code 3 of 9 includes all uppercase characters, numbers, and the period, hyphen, plus, forward slash, percent, and dollar. There are
restrictions on the +,/,%, and $ however.   These codes are used in order to make up the extended 3 of 9 set.  A section in this document that describes what codes make up which extended codes.  For example, if you wanted to scan a !, you
would need to code /A.

One Size Fits All...
Carolina Barcode is producing a wide range of sizes for you to choose from.  The name inculdes the sizes so if one is not quite right in certain area, just look for the adjustment that you need.  Here is how Carolina Barcode fonts are named.

This would mean that if you needed the characters under the bars to be a little taller, you would download the file where font height number (158) was greater than 158

Recap of Requirements for the use of Barcode (3 of 9)
In order to use Barcode (3 of 9)
  • you must start and stop each text phrase with the * character.
  • If your text phrase includes a space, you MUST use the ` or ~ character to represent this space.
  • When you print your barcodes, make sure that there is a definate contrast between the bars and spaces. The size of the barcode you print depends on your scanner and your printer.

    Extended 3 of 9 Code
    (These functions may not work with your barcode reader if it cannot read Extended characters)
    The extended code 3 of 9 set is included in the full version.  However, you can create the extended set from the basic set.  In order to produce these extended characters it takes two of the basic characters.  For example, if you wanted to create a !, you would have to scan /A.
