| | Posted: | | | | I just started using the software and am very pleased with it; but the one thing I would have liked to see and can't seem to find is a report that would print out barcode labels. |

| | Posted: | | | | I thought I might be able to find a UPC-A barcode Font on the internet and just use the Report feature to create a label using the barcode font but all the UPC-A Fonts I have found are priced anywhere from 150 dollars to 800 dollars. I found many free barcodes but none were UPC-A and none were recognized by my barcode scanner |

| | Posted: | | | | Pardon my confusion, but since 98% of DVDs have a barcode on them...why would you need a Barcode Printer?  Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Since you have to start and end each barcode with a special charactor to let the scanner know the start and end of the UPC code. So just printing the UPC number with a UPC font will not work. Hope that made sense. | | | The Other DVD Forum

| | Posted: | | | | I have a UPC font and would be willing to upload it to my site for those that want to d/l it. The start and end use the * symbol before and after the numbers.
So, a pepsi UPC would be *01234000*
I know it is accurate as I typed the UPC in notepad, then scanned a can and the barcode was identical except for the ** which don't show when scanning.

Skip That is true but I have over 1000 DVD's and most of them are no longer in their original cases. I have placed most oy DVD's into DVD books. I am having to go through and input them all manually. I was hoping after I did that I could print out Barcode labels so I could manage them easier. |

http://www.erikroth.com/upc_font.zip Thanks for the font but I have not been able to make it work. I have learned through all my searchig that there are several different types of barcodes. The ones used on the back of DVD's is the "UPC-A" standard. The one you posted is called "3 of 9" I have already tried this one and it did not work for me. |

| | Posted: | | | | I wrote the PTouch label printer plugin. You don't actually need a printer, just the Brother software drivers. Not sure if it will help you, but it will batch print all your labels in one shot. And during the process, .bmp images of each label are saved for you. | | | Thanks for your support.

Make sure you're using the extended version. It does work, I have used it numerous times. Also, make sure that your UPC starts with * and end with *. Ex, *043396154155* | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |
