Barcode Fonts Setup

Barcode Setup in Response

Response CAN print barcodes for just about anything. It's a simple case of choosing the appropriate barcode FONT and using it in your crystal report our ours.

You can use barcode fonts in Bin and Item Barcode Labels, picking tickets (click the Advanced button)and Postnet barcodes will print on mailing list/labels printouts if selected.

Barcodes can be added to other Crystal Reports using the TrueType fonts we deploy with Response (Free 3 of 9, code39, C39HRP..), look in \r4w\fonts\ folder for these alphanumeric barcode TTF files. You'll need the Crystal Report writer to modify reports, just change the font to one of these barcode fonts and you're all set.

Configuring the workstation and Windows:

For a workstation to print Barcodes, you will need to install the barcode font that Response uses. Those font files should be in your Colinear\R4W\Fonts folder (directory) or if that directory doesn't exist you can create it. Create the folder then Extract the files from our fonts.zip file here:

To install the barcode font at the workstation: 1. On each machine that will print a report containing barcodes, copy the fonts from your R4W\Fonts\

directory into your Windows\Fonts or WinNT\Fonts directory.

(TIP: one user told us their IT guru said to drag and drop, not cut and paste, it seems there is a difference, at least in Win XP)

2. Using Windows Explorer view the Windows\Fonts or WinNT\Fonts directory. This will cause the font to be registered with Windows.

Barcoded Inventory Labels

Response 8x/9x/10x Go to File / Inventory / Warehouse Setup / Print Bin and Item Barcode Labels.

Select BIN LABELS or ITEM LABLES. Bin Labels prints barcodes for the BINS, not a barcode label for each item in the bin (choose items labels for that feature and see more below)

BIN LABLES

Barcode Fonts Setup

ITEM LABELS Item Labels allow you to print labels for items in the bin or for an open Purchase order. This utility only prints the ITEM ID, it won't (for example) print a barcode of the UPC for the item.

Barcode Fonts Setup

11/27/07 tech tips (build 4028) The File / Inventory / Warehouse Setup / Print Bin and Item Barcode Labels does a few things you might not be aware of.

First: If you specify "Item Labels", you have an option to print labels for open items on a specific PO. Doing this will print as many barcodes as you have items expected to receive on the PO. In other words, if you have the following PO:

Item ABC, qty 50 Item DEF, qty 20

open on a PO, it will print 70 barcodes, not 2.

Second: the Bin and Item Labels program does not use Crystal, even though it pops up a preview window, it is actually something called VPE (Virtual Print Engine). VPE gives us some features not available in Crystal like horizontal placement of labels, barcoding symbologies, etc.
