Implementing solutions with our fonts provides a high level of
scalability with operating system, application and printer independence. Learn
more about the quality of our fonts.
 These fonts may be difficult to use without our Font
Tools because of the different character sets and required check digits.
Therefore, if you cannot utilize our Font Tools and
you are confused by the font data sheet, we recommend you
consider the Image Generator
or our Barcode Label Software.
We also have
barcode components
that may be an easier implementation in applications such as Microsoft®
Access or Visual Basic because they automatically calculate the checksum and
format the barcode.
UPC, UCC, EAN, JAN, ISBN and Bookland barcodes can all be created from our UPC/EAN
Font Advantage Package with the exception of EAN-14, UCC-128 and EAN-128; these
are created with the Code 128
Barcode Fonts.
The primary purpose for these barcodes is to uniquely identify a product and
manufacturer for retail checkout and tracking purposes. Below is a summary
of the different bar code standards:
- UPC - The Universal
Product Code (UPC) barcode has been used in the retail industry in the US and
Canada since 1973. UPC-A consists of 12 numbers and UPC-E consists of 12
numbers that are compressed into 8 numbers for small packages.
- UCC - The Universal Code
Council creates standards for multi-industry product identification. UCC12
is another name for the UPC-A standard.
- EAN - The European
Article Numbering System (EAN) is a superset of U.P.C. EAN-13 consists of 13
numbers and EAN-8 consists of 8 digits for small packages.
- ISBN and Bookland - The
EAN-13 barcode for a book or periodical is generated from the ISBN number
assigned to it. When encoding ISBN in an EAN-13 barcode, the ISBN number is
preceded by the number 978 and the ISBN check digit is not used. When the ISBN
number is encoded in the EAN-13 barcode in this way it is often called
Bookland. A 5 digit add-on barcode is optional and can contain the price of
the book or periodical.
- JAN - the JAN codes are
the same as the EAN codes, except the first two characters are set to "49".
- Add-on Barcodes - an
additional barcode can be created just to the right of the symbol to encode
additional information. These barcodes are either 2 or 5 digits in length. Our
fonts support the add-on barcodes.
- EAN14 is a barcode type created with ITF
or Code 128 and is not included in this package.
- UCC128 or EAN128 is a barcode type created with Code 128
and is not included in this package.

UPC/EAN
Font Advantage Package Features
|
Our UPC/EAN Font Advantage Package is more than just a few fonts. With this package you receive 4 different font heights in
several formats along with font tools, macros and source code to help you
integrate the fonts into your applications.
Details of the UPC/EAN Font
Advantage Package are as follows:
- Advanced Font Encoding -
Our implementation of these symbologies allows a single advanced font to
produce all UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, JAN & ISBN barcodes.
- Multiple Font Tools Included - for easy integration into applications, we provide
several
font
tools that are free to use with our fonts. Our font tools
automatically format the start, stop and check characters to the barcode
font. The following tools are included:
- Cross-platform Support - the unique encoding in our font allows
cross-platform support between UNIX, Macintosh and Windows systems. For
example, the same Microsoft® Access
application or Excel spreadsheet with our
Microsoft Office Macros can be used on Windows and
Macintosh computers that have our font installed.
- Four Different Heights Provided - fonts with "S" in the name are "shortened height" fonts, that
are below what the UCC recommends, but we have seen these heights in use with
UPC-A and UPC-E barcodes and they do scan properly. Fonts with "M" in
the name are medium height fonts and are recommended for printing EAN-8
barcodes. Fonts with "L" in the name are the largest, with a height of
approximately 22MM when printed at 20 points, which is recommended for
printing UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 barcodes. Fonts with "XS" in the name are a
height of 6MM.
- Industry Standards - the
UPC/EAN barcode font was created according to UCC and European (EN 797)
standards. All symbols of this barcode specification are in the fonts
including human readable characters and add-on symbols.
- Non-Human Readable Font Provided - the IDAutomationUPCEANXSnoHR font is provided in the purchased
version only for special applications that do not require the human readable
portion below the barcode.
- Multiple Formats Provided - when you purchase a license for this font, you will receive all versions
in a single ZIP file. The manual is supplied in a file named
"readme" in the ZIP file. The following fonts are included:
- TrueType fonts are supplied in PC and Macintosh format. The TrueType TTF
fonts are compatible with Macintosh OS X and all versions of Microsoft
Windows, including Pocket PC. Macintosh formatted MTT TrueType fonts
are compatible with Macintosh System 7.1 and above.
- OpenType OTF fonts with PostScript outlines are
provided. These are compatible with Windows, Macintosh OS X and other
systems supporting the OpenType format.
- PostScript Type 1 fonts are supplied in binary,
ASCII and Macintosh versions.

fonts in 20, 24, 28 and 32 points.
- With the purchase of a Developer License and 1 year of support and
upgrade protection, we can convert fonts from this package to PCL 4, Xerox
Metacode, XES, FNT, BDF, FON and AFP. More about this is
provided here. The Developer License also grants

Pricing and Licensing:
The following is a summary of licensing and pricing, refer to the
License Agreement for
details about the license.
- The Small Company Developer License costs $417.
With this license, the rights of the Developer License are
granted to all organizations with a gross annual revenue or funding of less
than 2 million U.S. Dollars (or equivalent amount in a foreign currency) if
that company purchases either three (3) Single User Licenses for the same font product
or the Small Company Developer License and sends us a signed Small Company Agreement
which is
located at http://www.idautomation.com/sca/.
- The Developer License
costs $790 and allows one developer royalty-free
distribution of the Software internally (in the same organization) and
externally (outside the organization bundled with an application) up to 10,000
user licenses, provided you adhere to the
Developer License
distribution terms. When distributing the fonts outside your organization,
you may not resell, rent, lease or distribute the fonts alone, they must be
distributed as a component of an application and bundled with an application
or with the application's installation files. For details, review the
distribution terms.
If you have more than one developer that will be developing applications using
the fonts, you will need to purchase a Developer License for each additional
developer.
- The 5 Developer License
costs $1580 and grants the rights of the Developer
License for up to 5 developers and 20,000 user licenses. This license is also
granted if two Developer Licenses are purchased.
- The Unlimited Developer License
costs $2370 and grants the rights of the Developer
License for an unlimited number of developers and an unlimited number of user
licenses. This license is also granted if three Developer Licenses
are purchased.
- The Single User License costs $139 and allows use of the Software for one effective user in your
organization. The number of effective users for software licensing is
determined by the method defined below that returns the greatest number.
- The number of users contributing to the data that
is printed with the Software. For example, 100 users entering or editing
data on a host where only 1 program prints barcodes to 1 printer, would
require 100 user licenses. According to the multi-user licensing below, this would require
4 Single User Licenses to be purchased.
- The number of users that have the Software installed on
their CPU.
- The number of printers that are being printed to with
the Software. For example, 1 user printing to 5 printers would require 5
licenses. Per the multi-user licensing below, only 2 Single User Licenses would need to
be purchased.
- Multi-User Licenses are obtained by ordering
multiple single user licenses of the same product. The effective number of
licensed users is determined by the following:
1 Single User License = 1 licensed user
2 Single User Licenses = 5 licensed users
3 Single User Licenses = 25 licensed users
4 Single User Licenses = 100 licensed users
5 Single User Licenses = 500 licensed users
6 Single User Licenses = Developer License Granted for 10,000 licensed users
-
The Complete
Barcode, MICR and OCR Font License allows you to order all of
our fonts in one package for a reasonable price. Single user versions are
