Bar Code Fonts

You can use bar code fonts to create bar codes in reports. For example, you can add bar codes to reports that include inventory items.

RDA provides base bar code functionality for reports and other batch job output. RDA supports Code 39 fonts for both PCL and PostScript conversion. The True Type font name is BC C39 3 to 1 Medium. Bar code fonts can be viewed in RDA, previewed, and then printed. Bar codes print on both PCL and PostScript printers. Because font vendors do not sell scalable PCL fonts, only fixed-point sizes are supported for PCL. The recommended point size range for PostScript is 8 to 24 points.

To specify a particular bar code, you must enter the encoding for that bar code in the constant properties. The encoding is a series of characters and numbers that are preceded and followed by asterisks (*) to identify the text as a bar code.

After you set up the bar code in the report, you must link the printer font name and the True Type font name to a physical printer in the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Bar Code Support (P986166) application before you print to either a PostScript or PCL printer.
