Printing UPC bar code with NAV

eddietlin

I'm trying to create UPC-A barcode to print on NAV report and Zebra printer. I have the UPC True Font installed and have the font set in report. NAV prints out the bar code, but it's not scannable. The client was using some kinda of add-on from AIM in Soloman to print the bar code. Do I need this kind of software in addition to just the font?

Pls advise,

Thanks,

You need to manipulate what you are printing based on specs for UPC-A

... but what does that mean... Do I need to code the CheckSum calculation in the NAV report then print that number?

Yes.

Just like for 3 of 9 barcode you need to add * to the begging and end of barcode

* + "No." + *



You will need to do the same for UPC-A.



I've posted about 128-b if you can use that.

For UPC-A's we've been using the Barcode Generator for a while now w/no problems.

the download section has many Barcoding downloads as well as searching the forum for ton's of barcode posts.
