Generating Barcodes

There are a number of websites offering free utilities to convert text into Barcodes.

We recommend using http://barcoding.com/resources/barcode-generator/

This website will give you a step-by-step guide for generating your barcodes. Alternatively, many office products now come with a Barcode font.

The MM7000’s Barcode reader can read the following codes:

•All UPC/EAN/JAN Codes

•EAN28 Codes

•Code 39, Code 128

•Interleave 25

Generate the barcodes, giving each a unique number to enable them to be recognised by Synergy.
