Printing your own Barcodes
To print your own barcode labels we recommend to buy a special barcode printer.
In case you would like to use a word processer, you can install a special barcode
font. We use Code 39 barcodes and the following link will give you access to a free
Code 39 font:

Tips for Using the Barcode Font
- Be sure to add an asterisk * character before and after your text. Example *YOURTEXTHERE*
- Microsoft Word may adjust the character spacing and make the barcode unreadable.
You may have more luck with Wordpad, found in the Windows Start Menu under Programs
> Accessories.
Configure your own Barcode Labels
Within EZ-MES you are able to configure your own designed Barcode Labels.
These Barcode Labels can be specific for Part Defintition, or be
made special for specific
Step Definitions. The Step Definition Barcode Labels can be printed at the
moment a Traveler moves through that specific
operation.
Barcode Labels can be printed from either the Part Record Form or from the
Traveler Form.
From the Traveler
Form a batch print option for all part on the Traveler is available as well.
