    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

    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.
