5. Print your barcoded labels.

Q:

When I generate an ISBN-13 barcode in the demo version of ibarcoder the price code is not accurate. The price code is supposed to begin with a 5 and it doesn't. For instance code 978-0-06-198570-6 with a price of 13.99 ends up with as below. The price code is 61399 but it should be 51399.

A:

Please do not add the check digit (last 6) to the code data, it is calculated automatically. Also, add the full price add-on 51399 instead of just 1399.

Q:

As far as I can tell UPC A is supposed to use 12 characters but your software is looking for 11, 13, or 16.

A:

Users should enter 11, 13, or 16. digits. The extra digit is the check code that the product calculates and adds automatically. So you get 12, 14 or 17 digits code.

Q:

Hi guys, Have downloaded the demo version for now, got to say I so far am impressed with the product.... The problem is that when inputting my code into iBarcoder using just EAN13 my barcodes are incorrect, have extra digits.

A:

The extra digit is the check code that the product calculates and adds automatically. Please make sure that you EAN 13 data contains 12, 14, or 17 digits.

Q:

How to create sequential barcodes and sequential text objects?

A:

To switch a barcode, or text object into sequential (bulk) mode, you need to add a datasource to this object. A datasource can be either an Excel Wokbook (.xlsx), or simple text (.txt) file. Below is the explanation of the .txt file datasouce, and the Excel datasource explaned here: How to make sequences from Excel Wokbook

To set the text file to be the source of the text in the rectangular object, place the rectangular object first, then create the text (.txt) file with data:

Add the text file url to the Text Properties tab of the Object Information dialog box, and the first string of data will appear in the object.

You can also add a QR Code barcode,

and set the QR Code data file as the barcode sequential data. Please note that QR Codes requires two line feeds between barcode data blocks, because one line feed can be encoded into the QRCode.

Barcode data text file for other barcode types should contain one line feed between data strings.
When you print your label, you will get sequenatial barcodes with sequential file data objects:

Q:

How to add a Carriage Return to Code128?
