BARCODING WITH EXCEL USING FONTS ALREADY IN EXCEL
To print bar codes, you will need a barcode font. There are some available
free on the web if you search. Just a hint: most barcode readers require you to type an asterisk (*) before and after the number when you print your barcode label. So, for example item 1234567 would need to print as: *1234567* Good luck, Heidi "tina" wrote: i am trying to set up an inventory in/out system using barcodes and I will need to purchase a barcode scanner. are there any scanners that can be programmed to use a font already in the computer? |

Tina,
If you already have a barcode font installed on your system and the barcodes are created/printed correctly with that font, then you can use pretty much any scanner to read those barcodes. When purchasing the scanner, just verify it reads they type of barcode you are creating. If you use Code 39 or Code 128 barcodes, then 99.9% of scanners out there will scan that.
