If you intend to print labels with barcodes, the 'Code 3 of 9' font (also named Code 39) is required to print barcodes on labels. This font must be placed into your font folder before launching the software. Once installed, the font will link with specific fields. So, the barcodes will be printed on the labels. Our scanners come with that font. You can, however, use a scanner to enter items in the 'Inventory' database. When the cursor flashes in the 'Product Code' field, scan the barcodes.
