different aspect ratios, to vary the height and width
of the bars independently. Also offers plain and human
readable barcodes. Export your barcodes as bmp, gif,
jpg, or png. Includes VBA macros for Excel and Access,
Word label templates, plus BarEAN- a utility which
builds barcodes for you and saves them as fonts or
graphics. Bookland bar codes can use new or old ISBN
numbering with optional price barcode.
The European Article Numbering system, EAN, was
introduced in 1978. There are two different versions
of EAN bar codes, EAN 8 and EAN 13, which encode 8 and
13 digit numbers, respectively. A special EAN 13 bar
code with an optional 5 digit supplemental code is
used on books to encode the book ISBN number and
price. This bar code is called Bookland.
EAN bar codes encode fixed length numeric data. A
checksum is required, and checksum calculation is very
complex. Our bar code set includes VBA functions for
Excel and Access, Word label templates, plus our
BAREAN.EXE utility, which calculates checksums and
automatically formats these bar codes for you.
