Some barcode fonts such as Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, UPC and EAN require a checksum character (also called the check digit) to be calculated and appended to the end of the data and before the stop character. This character, along with the start and stop characters, helps the barcode scanner verify that it has read the barcode correctly. To help users integrate barcode fonts into their applications, we provide several font automation tools with your purchase. These include MS Office Macros for Word, Excel and Access, Add-ins for Lotus Notes and Approach, Visual Basic, ANSI C and JAVA Source Code, ActiveX DLLs, Crystal Reports User Function Libraries (UFLs) and a check digit calculation application with Visual Basic source code. The DLLs, macros, UFLs and code provided automatically format the start, stop and check characters to the barcode fonts.
