Barcoding

 

                                                        ***NEW NEW NEW***
                                                     EASY BARCODE CREATION!

We can now create your barcodes in a PDF file and e-mail it to you ready to print!! E-mail the budget number needed, your name, department name, phone number and campus zip to campusmail@uidaho.edu. We will create the budget number to fit the Avery 5167 labels (or equivalent labels, 80 per page) and email the PDF back to you.

You may request the 3 of 9 barcode true type font by e-mailing campusmail@uidaho.edu.  After receiving and downloading this file, any application you are running that uses True Type Font (*.TTF) files under Windows should allow you to select 3 of 9 Barcode from its fonts menu.

Microsoft Word  users

Disable the AutoFormat feature for *Bold* (under "AutoFormat" and "AutoFormat As You Type"), otherwise the "*" character will be interpreted as the Word  command code for selecting the Bold font attribute, not as a "real" character.

After you have selected the 3 of 9 Barcode font you will need to set the font size. A setting of 12pt or larger font is best. Type the budget number with an asterisk before and after the number. Type the budget number in all upper case and no spaces. So a budget number of ABC123 would be *ABC123$M*. The $M tells the computer where to put the budget number.

Following the steps mentioned above should result in a printable barcode showing up on your screen as you type. If you produce your own barcodes, always have a sample verified with Campus Mail and Receiving before using. Send a sample by e-mail or Campus Mail and Receiving (2282) before printing your supply.

If you have any questions you may contact us at 885-5256/7011 or campusmail@uidaho.edu
