EnCode is the quick and effective way to create bar codes for your Windows documents, and is the perfect companion to Windows applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Access, as well as many others. This easy-to-use bar code generator enables you to select and format your bar code in minutes and provides several different operating modes for inserting bar codes into your document.
EnCode generates high quality, accurate bar code symbols in all major formats and features data validation, automatic check character generation and human readable text. EnCode is a Windows 95/98 & NT software solution.

Once you have created your bar code, EnCode will produce either a bitmap file that can be inserted into your document or an EnCode object that can be edited using OLE supporting software - just select the option that best suits your requirement :-

OLE Server. If your application supports OLE then its simple - just insert an EnCode bar code object straight into your document. Most major word processors, spreadsheets and database managers like Microsoft Word, Excel and Access support this method. EnCode lets you choose the bar code symbology, set the data and adjust other characteristics then places the bar code straight into your document. In-Place Activation means that you can modify all aspects of the bar code from within the application itself.
Clipboard. Create the bar code in EnCode, copy it to the clipboard then simply paste it into your document. Alternatively just drag the bar code from EnCode and drop it onto your document. Use the clipboard if your application doesnt support OLE.
Bitmap Files. EnCode can create standard Windows bitmap files for bar codes. You can import such files into any application which supports the bitmap format.

EnCodes bar codes are optimised to suit the current printer so that they are as close to specification as possible. As well as a variety of standard formats you can customise the X dimension and bar width ratio. EnCode also has the facility to compensate for print gain.

All Major Barcode Symbologies. EnCode supports all major bar code symbologies :- Code39, Code39 Full ASCII, Code93, Interleaved 2-of-5, Code128 Set A, Code128 Set B, Code128 Set C, Code128 Auto Selection, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, USA Postnet, USA FIM Symbols, Codabar, EAN-128 Auto Select, EAN-128 Set A, EAN-128 Set B, EAN-128 Set C, Plessey, MSI (Mod 10/11 Checksum), Telepen, Telepen Numeric.
Data Validation. EnCode checks that your data is valid for the selected symbology and warns if theres a problem.
Format. Standard formats are included, covering most requirements. However, you can create your own custom formats by adjusting the X dimension and wide to narrow bar ratio. For greater control, EnCode also has the facility to compensate for print gain (increase in bar width when printing).
Height. The height can range from 1mm to approximately 3000mm.
Orientation. Four standard orientations are provided - 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°.
Check Characters. Optional automatic check character generation where the symbology allows, otherwise always calculates check characters.
Human Readable. Optional display of human readable text below the bar code. Also has optional display of generated check characters where appropriate.
