How To Create Barcodes ?

You can create bar codes for any alphanumerical combination using Zint Barcode Generator. Download Zint Barcode Studio From http://sourceforge.net/projects/zint/ .



Generating One Barcode at a Time

  Open The Software and Type the BOOK ID or STUDENT ID on the Data To Encode Box. Then The Corresponding Barcode can be seen on the above box.




 Just Press The Save Button and Select The location to be saved.


Generating A Large Number of Barcodes

  Zint Barcode Studio allows to generate a large number of barcodes with sequential values. For that, just select 123.. button.


A new window will appear. Let's understand this through an example.
I have to make Barcodes for Book Id 1 to 1000.

Start Value = 1
End Value =1000
Increment By  = 1.
Format  = $$$$

Format means, if you give $$$$ then the values will be 0001, 0002 ... 1000.
Else if Format = $$$$$ , then the values will be 00001,00002 ... 01000


Press Create Button. Now You can see all the created barcode numbers on the 'Sequence Preview' Box
