With GS1 Data Matrix Barcode Font and Encoder Suite, users get access to fonts for GS1-DataMatrix, ECC200, and UID codes, along with encoders for creating dynamic barcodes on various platforms such as Oracle, Java, .NET, and SQL Server Reporting Services.
Barcode generation using these fonts and encoders complies with various specifications based on the Data Matrix Symbology, such as ECC200, DOD UID, UDI, ANSI/AIM C11, ISO/IEC 16022, ISO/IEC 15434, GS1-DataMatrix, MIL-STD-130, and others. The package offers multiple font types, including Digitally Signed TrueType, OpenType, PostScript, and PCL fonts.
For developer versions, the package includes web fonts that can be used in web-based environments. The suite is equipped with various custom functions, making it easy to encode tabs, returns, and other functions between fields in a single Data Matrix symbol. The suite also supports automatic square-symbol size selection from 10x10 to 144x144 and rectangular symbol support from 8x18 to 16x48.
Other features of the package include support for encoding modes BASE256, C40, TEXT, ASCII, and GS1-DataMatrix within ASCII encoding, and a Java Class Library that is compatible with JDK 1.4 and above. The Data Matrix Font and Encoder Suite offers a range of license options to suit users' needs. Options include single or multi-users, single sites, developer or commercial usage, and more.
Developer License versions come with Developer Tools for use in environments like Java, .NET, SSRS, or the web. IDAutomation also offers a free evaluation version for testing the Data Matrix Font and Encoder Suite before purchase. However, the demo version does not include encoders for complex or developer environments like Java, .NET, or SSRS.
Version 21.07: In the licensed package, an update to the TTF and OTF 2D fonts was released to better display on multiple devices and printers. Updated encoders like VBA Macros, Crystal Reports Formulas, with optimized algorithms, and added Excel Encoder app as well as Mail Merge Example.
