>Printing barcodes - buy a barcode font. Buy one that matches the required barcode type - there are several standards. If you are sending the barcoded output somewhere outside your organization, be aware that there are likely to be compliance testing requirements for the output - certainly the case for barcoded shipping labels and postal mail.

Laser printers are capable of producing the necessary quality documents using decent quality print stock. Dedicated barcode printers tend to use either single pass film ribbons or thermal printing for a good reason.

After doing the BarCode dance lately don't waste time with barcode fonts if you have a barcode printer.

The drivers for those printers ,,,,, suck. That would be Eltron, DataMax respectivly.

You might find that there is a check digit and the font is responsible for it's generation.
