About the Data Matrix Fonts and Encoder for Windows
The DataMatrix Barcode Font consists of both the encoder
and the font. The encoder is a COM ActiveX DLL that is installed with the
package, and its purpose is to convert the data-to-encode
into proper bar and space patterns formatted to the IDAutomation DataMatrix Barcode
Font. It is necessary to use the encoder because of the complexity
of the symbology and the required Reed Solomon error correction. Other tools provided, such as MS
Office macros, access the encoder from the DataMatrix ActiveX DLL.
Installation of the DataMatrix Barcode Font and Encoder for Windows package
will include the following components:
- The DataMatrix Barcode Encoder for Windows is an application
that provides an easy method for users to create DataMatrix barcodes
and print them or paste them into other applications.
- The Crystal Reports UFL is used for adding DataMatrix barcodes to
Crystal Reports.
- MS Office Macros are provided for Word
Mail-Merge, Access 97 and Access 2000 macros, although they can
be used in other MS Office applications as well.

to create the DataMatrix Barcode Font and Encoder for Windows.
