This free barcode font has one size (M) only, in true type font format. If otherheights or formats are desired, consider purchasing Morovia Code39 Fonts. A collectionof PCL scalable fonts is also available as Code39 PCL Scalable Font Pack.Both products offer trial versions that can be downloaded from their product pages.
At 12 points, this free code39 font produces barcodes with X dimension 10 mils(0.025 cm) and bar height at 0.5 inch (1.27cm). Fonts scale linearly at both directions.Therefore, at 18 points, the font produces barcodes with X dimension 15 mils (0.038cm)and bar height at 0.75 inch (1.90cm).
Code39 font is the easist barcode to use. Just enclose the string encodedwith asterisks. For example, *1234567*. Square brakcets can be usedin the place of asterisks, which produces code39 barcodes without asterisks appearingin the human readable text: [1234567].
Although Code39 is easy to use,it is not space efficient. If space is a concern,consider Code 128 or a 2D barcodesuch as PDF417, Data Matrix or QR Code that canencode much more data in small space. KB10620 provides a visual comparison amongall popular barcode formats.
Virtually all barcode scanners today read code39 barcodes. If you are not familiarwith barcode rader, look into knowledge base for great articles about barcode readers,such as KB10613: Advantages of Bar Codes and KB10614: Basic Barcode Terms.
Morovia Code39 Fontware allows you to print Code 39 barcode symbols (alsocalled as Code 3 of 9, USS code 39, HIBCC and LOGMARS) from any computersystems. True type, Type 1 for Windows and Macintosh platforms, as well as bitmapPCL versions to be used on PCL-compatible printers are included inone package.
In addition to the fonts in a variety of formats, Morovia Code39 Font Packagealso includes complete documentation, samples, macros and plug-ins to supportapplication integration. Morovia Code39 Fontware includes 10 versions of fonts;at any point size they produce barcodes with 5 different heights, with andwithout human readable. In conjunction with the adjustment of the point size,almost all size requirements can be achieved.
The whole package contains 10 different versions of Code39 barcode fonts intrue type and PostScript type 1 formats (Windows and Macintosh versions). Wealso provide PCL fonts upon request. The fonts are made with top quality andfollows Morovia Font Naming convention. Complete documentation, samples and acollection of source code and utilities packaged to assist applicationintegration, termed as Morovia Font Tools are also included in the package.
You can generate a code 3 of 9 barcode from keyboard without any helper. Make surethat the characters encodes are native code 39 characters (capital letter,digits and several punctuation symbols). For example, to create a barcode for BAR1234, follow the steps below:
It is possible to encode lower case letter using code 39 fonts. However,you will need to convert the characters to their two-character combinationform. It is easier to use our Code39 Full ASCII Fonts.
Collection of most popular free to download fonts for Windows and Mac. This free fonts collection also offers useful content and a huge collection of TrueType face and OpenType font families categorized in alphabetical order.

The Code 39 barcode is the easiest of the alpha-numeric barcodes to use and is designed for character self-checking, thus eliminating the need for check character calculations. Code 39 is also known as the 3 of 9 Barcode, Code 3 of 9, and Barcode39. Several standards exist that dictate how Code 39 barcodes should be printed for certain implementations. Although a checksum character is optional, many standards require it. The checksum character is a type of MOD43 calculation provided in many of the IDAutomation font encoders for the Code 39 Barcode Fonts. Enabling the check digit is also an option within IDAutomation Barcode Components and Applications that allow the component to automatically generate and include the MOD43 checksum without fonts.
The Code 39 asterisk character is usually used as a start/stop character, and should not be part of the data in the barcode. The asterisk may be used as the start/stop character with fonts; however, this may cause problems in some applications such as MS Word, because they may treat text surrounded with asterisks as bold text. In IDAutomation Code 39 barcode fonts, the exclamation and parentheses characters are also used as start/stop characters to avoid these problems and provide additional functionality.
Printing the Code 39 barcode as a font is an easy process if checksum characters are not required for the implementation. If the checksum is needed, IDAutomation provides several Font Encoders, Components, and Applications for this purpose.
IDAutomation Code 39 Barcode Fonts may be created directly from the keyboard or used in a calculated field to dynamically produce multiple symbols in many applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, FileMaker, QuickBooksand OpenOffice.
When the IDAutomation Code 39 Barcode Font is used, the parenthesis may be used as the start and stop characters to keep the asterisks from appearing in the text interpretation. For example, (BAR_CODE-39). This functionality is exclusive to the IDAutomation Code 39 Fonts.
Code 39 Barcodes may be dynamically created from a calculated field in a text box by using a formula that appends the start and stop characters. This is possible in several applications including the following:
The most common method of reading barcodes is with a barcode scanner. Most barcode scanners recommended by IDAutomation perform keyboard emulation and receive power from the USB port so that no external power supply is required. When a barcode is scanned using keyboard emulation, the data scanned appears at the cursor as if it had been typed in from the keyboard.
Most barcode scanners have the ability to read Code 39 barcodes by default, such as the IDAutomation USB Barcode Scanner. This scanner dependably reads the IDAutomation Code 39 Barcode Font and Universal Barcode Font when printed as small as 6 points, which is an X dimension of 4 mils.
The manual calculations described below are rarely necessary. IDAutomation provides several barcode font tools, plug-ins and source code samples that are free to use with IDAutomation fonts, which automatically format the start, stop and check characters to the barcode fonts. Additionally, the check digit option in all Components and Applications calculate and include the checksum automatically.
When extended Code 39 is enabled, functions may be directly encoded by using the format $? to specify the function where ? equals the character that represents the appropriate function in the chart below. For example, Code$I3of9$M will encode Code[TAB]3of9[RETURN].
Originally developed in the 1970s, Code 39 encodes numbers, capital letters (A-Z) and some special characters. By using combinations oftwo symbols the full ASCII character set can be encoded including special characters like currency symbols.If those combinations of symbols are used the code is referred to as Code 39 Extended. The "39" in the symbology's name does not refer to the size of the encodable character set, this is a common misconception. Instead, it's short for "three of nine", from the fact that an individual symbol has nine elements (bars and spaces), three of which are wide. This naming scheme is derived from Code 2-of-5 which has five elements, two of which are wide.
Code 39 has very lenient specifications and can be created with module widths ranging from 0.1 to over 5mm, same goes for the height of the code. We recommend a module width of 0.5mm and a module height of 20mm for most applications.
Likewise, the ratio of wide to narrow bars can be anywhere between 2.0 and 3.0. Smaller ratios will increase the density of the code (making it smaller for given data) but can make scanning the code more challenging.
Code 39 uses an identical non-encodable symbol for both start and stop characters. Usually, the barcode generator will add those two characters to the symbol automatically. When using a barcode font for Code 39, the start/stop-character is traditionally mapped to the "*" character. Formatting a string like "*12345*" with a Code 39 barcode font will then create a valid barcode (albeit without check digit). To encode a "*" with Code 39, use the combination "/B" (see table below).
Code 39 uses a modulo 43 checksum scheme. The characters are summed up, modulo divided by 43, the reminder is the checkcharacter. Any character from the code set can be check character, even letters. A Code 39 without check character encoding "12345":
When creating Code 39 with a check digit, the check character is usually not transmitted with the actual data. In most cases this behaviour must be activated manually in the barcode scanner. Consult your scanner's manual.
