in the overlay design window. Besides this they can be used in command lines of the type
&&TXT.

This will create the soft font member CODE39xxx, where ‘xxx’ is a ‘number’ in the sequence
‘AAA’, ‘AAB’, ‘AAC’....’ZZZ’ (when using *GEN for the FONT member name).
If activated the specification of autodownload is added to the first printer group and the output
queue *ALLPCL is added to this printer group. If no PCL printer group is found InterForm400 ®
will automatically create the printer group *PCL.
� TIP �
If you want to be able to see the connection between the font number and the font file
member name, you can insert ‘BARCOD’ followed by the font number for the FONT-file
member name instead of *GEN. If you do not do this, then the only way to find out which soft
font fits with what font number is through the table in Autodownload!
Editing of font ID’s for barcodes are done under 1. Description of additional fonts in the
Work with Fonts menu.
