Hi
Does this font work for printing UPC-A and UPC-E?
I have been trying to generate UPC-A codes, it worked almost well using the EAN13 font, since UPC-A is based on EAN-13, but I am not sure I am getting the right result. Anyway, i just can't get it to work with UPC-E codes. even though i have the right digits, the printout turns out wrong.
Help, anybody…
regards
Marcus
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The main difference between UPC-A and UPC-E is the size of the bar code. The UPC-E is also called a 0-Suppressed UPC because the UPC-E compresses a normal 12 digit UPC-A number into a six digit code by "suppressing" the number system digit. So UPC-A can be converted into UPC-E in a way. Or you can get UPC-E font straight away and use it to generate the barcode.
