# Barcodes

**Applies to:** Lasernet 9

The **Barcode** tool works the same way as the **Rearrange** tool. When you select data, the barcode object becomes visible in the form on the right-hand side, and you can position it to fit your form requirements. You can insert Barcodes via TrueType fonts, as graphics or driver fonts. This exercise focuses on built-in Barcodes only.

- **Symbology Barcodes**: based on the 3rd party TrueType fonts (not included in the software package).
- **Built-in Barcodes:** a range of linear and 2D barcodes inserted as images and included as a standard feature.
- **Driver fonts**: in Windows printer drivers for the thermal printers, you can add and maintain linear or 2D barcodes supported by the supplier of the thermal printer. The barcode is created in the printer driver and translated into the printer specific language code supported by the thermal printer.

Lasernet 9 support the following list of barcodes:

- **Linear Barcodes**: Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, POSTNET, UPC, EAN
- **2D Barcodes**: Data Matrix, MaxiCode, PDF417, QR-Code

> [!NOTE]
> Info
> 
> An enhanced range of barcodes are supported in the Rich Text Editor.

> This article describes a software version that is no longer supported. Although the software will no longer receive updates or technical support, existing documentation, such as this article, will be retained for reference purposes but will no longer be updated.

A barcode object containing the No barcode assign yet text is added to the form.

1. Edit the properties of the Barcode object. To this end, on the **Barcode** tab of the **Edit Barcode** dialog, click **Add...**, and then click **Add rearrange embedded barcode**. This selection allows adding a barcode only for the Barcode object for which the settings are available.

> [!NOTE]

> By selecting **Add barcode as profile**, you can create a global Barcode profile that can be added to the other forms. If you change the settings in your Barcode profile, it effects the other forms which use the same Barcode profile as master.

1. Afterward, set **Symbology** to **Code 39.**
2. Click **Ok** to save changes for the barcode settings of the current Barcode object.
3. Then click **Ok** to confirm all the specified settings.

1. Click **Ok** to accept new position settings for the barcode.

A 2D barcode is inserted into the form.

1. Add a 2D QRCode barcode similar to the one you have added, following the steps listed above.

Four barcodes are added to the form: two linear barcodes and two 2D barcodes.
