IDAutomation offers several barcode font tools via components, macros and source code. When using non self-checking barcode fonts, these tools are necessary for calculating checksums as the fonts themselves cannot perform checksum calculations. IDAutomation tools are free to use with the purchase of an IDAutomation barcode fonts package.
