TFORMer SDK: Integrated Barcode Printing

Barcode support without additional costs: The reporting component TFORMer SDK generates all standard industry bar codes (linear, 2D and composite barcodes). You don’t need any special bar code printers or expensive extension modules for barcode printing.

1D and 2D Barcodes - TEC-IT

Make every printer a bar code printer!

Printing of bar codes will be possible with only one product and with all Windows printers and output formats.

All common barcode variants used in the manufacturing and retail industries like UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, UCC/EAN-128, Code 128, Code 2 of 5 IL, PDF417, Data Matrix (and many others) are supported. All bar codes required for compliance labeling (VDA, GTL, GM...) are available immediately.

The bar codes are calculated as high resolution vector graphics and are created in all TFORMer output formats (even in PDF, TIFF, JPG, GIF, PostScript® and other formats) in perfect, readable quality.
