Make a Bar Code 3/9 Utility

Type of bar code Select the type of bar code 3/9 to create. Standard bar codes just display bar code patterns. You can also choose human readable bar codes that display the text the bar code represents either above or below it. [Top]

Add checksum Calculate and add the option bar code 3/9 checksum (rarely used). This is the standard mod 43 checksum. [Top]

Change bar code height Modify the height of a bar code without changing the width. Bar codes can range from .25 to 1 or more inches in height. [Top]

Change bar code width Scale the bar code width up or down by increasing or decreasing the point size. [Top]

Enter data to bar code Type in the data you want to bar code here. Your data can contains numbers (0-9), upper case letters (A-Z) and the special characters: space, $ % + - . /. Our program will add the Start and Stop character for you. If you enable the optional checksum, this will be calculated and added to your bar code. [Top]
