Make a Bar Code 93 Utility

This utility converts your bar code 93 data into actual bar codes. Use this utility to build 93 bar codes and then to copy and paste them into other Windows programs for printing. Click on any orange circle below to view a description of exactly what that control does. Bar codes can be printed on sheets of labels, copied into a desktop publishing program to display a bar code on your packaging, or exported as a gif, jpg, or png file. These bar code fonts are compatible with virtually any Windows program. For programs like Excel and Access see the package documentation for details on using our VBA macros directly inside of those programs. The software will automatically add the Start and Stop characters plus the two required checksums.

Make a Bar Code 93 Utility

1Type of bar code

Select the type of bar code 93 to create. Standard bar codes just display bar code patterns. You can also choose human readable bar codes that display the text the bar code represents either above or below it.

2Display sum and checksum

Display sum and checksum calculations to help you debug your own routines.

3Change bar code height

Modify the height of a bar code without changing the width. Bar codes can range from .25 to 1 or more inches in height.

4Change bar code width

Scale the bar code width up or down by increasing or decreasing the point size.

5Enter data to bar code

Type in the data you want to bar code here. Your data can contains numbers (0-9), upper case letters (A-Z) and the special characters: space, $ % + - . /. Our program will add the Start and Stop character for you. It will also calculate the two checksums and add them to your bar code.

6Make a bar code

Click this button to make a bar code from your number. The bar code will then be displayed in the bottom window of this program.

7Copy to clip board

Copy your completed bar code to the Windows clip board. (The Windows clip board is invisible- don't worry about where it is or how it works.) You can then paste this bar code directly into virtually any Windows program by pressing Ctrl-V or using the Edit, Paste menu in that program.

8Display converted bar code data

This is the string of characters to use with our bar code fonts. This string includes the Start and Stop codes plus any optional checksum. Note that you can not just type in the bar code 93 font, you must always add a Start, Stop, and two checksum character.

9This is your 93 bar code

This is a sample of what your bar code will look like. Note that Windows screen resolution is fairly low, so the bar code displayed may not exactly match what will be printed.

14Print a sample page

Print a sample page of your 93 bar code to see just what it will look like. This sample page shows you your bar code in a number of different sizes. Use this printout to check bar codes you are printing yourself.

15Check for updates

Check the web for a program update. You must have an active internet connection running. A web page will be displayed with information about the current version of this program and whether or not you need to update.

16Insert a special character
