Barcode Software Encoder

A software Encoder is bundled with ConnectCode to help you easily use the barcode fonts. This Encoder implements the calculation of the Check Digit (Check Character) , the automatic addition of Start/Stop characters and Parity Positioning. You will be able to simply key in the data as a text string (for encoding into barcode) and leave the character mappings and other conversion details to the Encoder.

Using the Encoder, you will be able to preview the final output of the font and Copy or Paste the barcode into any text application or editor. It will definitely save you time in using the ConnectCode barcode fonts.

The Encoder can be started from your Windows Start Menu.
