Adding barcodes to reports

Posted on by aitorNAV

Hello eveyone,

I'm trying to generate stickers with barcodes in BC SaaS. I've found a barcode font installed into my laptop time ago, and I've tried with it. Visually seems OK, but when printing and trying to read with a barcode scanner, we don't get anything. Any hint on how to insert barcodes into reports?

Thank you all

Hi Mark,

The issue was adding start/stop characters to the code, for example * to 3/9 codes.

Thank you!

Padding set to 0? Perhaps your barcode font needs to be installed on the server and/or client machine. These types of problems are tricky to diagnose without direct access.

Check if it scans from the screen in preview and print to pdf modes.

Thanks for your answer Mark.

I'm printing the barcode into cell much bigger than the text, so I assume that the problem is not that he barcode is not complete...

If the barcode is printing out, check that the start and end deliminators are printing correctly. If not, you may need to tweak the report layout either to expand the field width or reduce the font size. Testing with a very short text string will usually indicate this.
