IDAutomation offers DataMatrix barcode fonts that enable printing of two-dimensional barcodes using TrueType, BDF, FON, PostScript, or PCL laserjet soft fonts on MS Windows or any computer with a Java VM.
I recently tried IDAutomation's DataMatrix barcode fonts and was quite impressed by the features they offer. These fonts allow for printing of ECC-200 Data Matrix symbols using TrueType, PCL and PostScript fonts. The IDAutomation Vertical Interleaved Technology used for this purpose is simply amazing!
What caught my attention the most, apart from the great printing options, was the variety of tools and controls this software offers. The package includes VB code, Java Library, ASP.NET Web Control, .NET Forms Control DLL and examples for Excel, Word, Access, Java, .NET and Crystal Reports. This makes it an all-encompassing solution without the need for different software for different applications.
DataMatrix symbology is perfect for storing confidential data as well as binary data. This is made possible by the hundreds of text characters that can be stored safely and inexpensively. Moreover, the usage of the Reed Solomon error correction negates the loss of data even in the case of damage to the printed DataMatrix symbol. The level of error correction offered is beyond anything that one dimensional barcodes with check digits can provide.
Overall, I found IDAutomation's DataMatrix barcode fonts to be a comprehensive and powerful package that offers unparalleled functionality when it comes to printing and storing data. If you need an all-in-one solution for your barcode needs, this is definitely worth your consideration.
