TFORMer Designer: Barcode Support

The integrated, extensive barcode creator makes TFORMer a perfect tool for industry printing (e.g. VDA/Odette/Galia/AIAG-Labels for the automobile supplier industry) and other bar code applications.

TFORMer generates all bar codes independently. You don't need special barcode printer or expensive hardware extensions like Barcode-SIMMs or Bar code-DIMMs. Furthermore, the time-consuming adjustment of printer specific escape sequences for creating a barcode is completely unnecessary.

Turn Your Printers into Barcode Printers

TFORMer Designer support all printers under Microsoft^® Windows and all PostScript^® compatible printers. PDF and HTML documents are of course generated with perfect readable barcodes as well.

The integrated bar code creator of TFORMer Designer supports all

• linear barcodes (like Code 2 of 5 Interleaved, Code39, Code128, EAN128, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, UCC/EAN-128, Code 128)
• 2D Barcodes (like PDF417, MaxiCode, Data Matrix, QR-Code)
• RSS Barcodes
• EAN.UCC Composite Barcodes.

The calculation of possible check digit takes place automatically. All barcodes are always at the highest possible quality and are calculated as vector graphic. This method garanties optimal readability by barcode scanners or image systems and certainly avoids customer reclamations.

The following bar codes are supported by the built-in bar code generator.
