with regard to this program or documentation. The author shall not
be liable in any event for incidental or consequential damages in
connection with, or arising out of, the furnishing, performance, or
use of this program.
DESCRIPTION
"CODE 39 Label Printer" enables 9-pin Epson compatible printers to
print CODE 39 barcodes on standard mailing labels (15/16" x 3-1/2"
or 24cm x 89cm).
CODE 39 labels allow letters, numbers, and the special characters -
$/+% to be printed. CODE 39 labels are widely used for in-house
inventory labels, timecard labels, employee I.D. badges, equipment
marking & tracking, file folder I.D. labels, etc.
An optional description is printed above the barcode and the human
readable code is printed below the barcode.
DIRECTIONS
1. Type CODE39 and press Enter to start the program.
2. Type or scan an existing CODE 39 code at the Code prompt (10
characters maximum) and press Enter. A-Z, 0-9, and -.$/+% are
valid characters.
Because the label is printed in double-density, a limit of 10
characters is necessary so as not to exceed the width of a
standard mailing label and still provide some white starting
and ending space before and after the barcode. 10 characters
should be sufficient for most applications.
The double-density image will be easily readable by contact-
type wand scanners and also from some distance with non-
contact-type laser scanners.
3. Enter an optional description (42 characters maximum) to print
above the barcode. Letters, numbers and special characters may
be entered.
4. Enter the quantity of labels to print. Version 1.0 is
shareware and prints a maximum of 9 labels at a time. To print
unlimited quantities, you must use version 2.0 which you
receive when you register your copy of the software. You will
also receive the QuickBASIC source code and a BATCH MODE
version with source when you register. Registration is $25
U.S. ($27 U.S. for overseas orders). Print "CODE39.FRM" for a
form.
5. Press "Y" to begin printing, or any other key to exit the
program.
6. Press F10 and Enter at any time to exit the program.
