EPSON BarCode Fonts (Windows Only)
EPSON BarCode Fonts let you easily create and print many types of bar codes.
Normally, bar code creation is a laborious process requiring you to specify various command codes,
such as Start bar, Stop bar and OCR-B, in addition to the bar code characters themselves. However,
EPSON BarCode Fonts are designed to add such codes automatically, allowing you to easily print
bar codes that conform to a variety of bar code standards.
EPSON BarCode Fonts support the following types of bar codes.
