How To Create Bar Codes
Linx 7900
2 Create a bar code
There are two methods that you can use to create a bar code:
• Edit an existing field and encode the field.
• Create a bar code field, then enter the source data or link the bar code to an existing
field. See ‘Encode several fields’ on page 5.
Some of the steps that you perform are the same for both methods.
NOTE: You use the same method to create a bar code field or a Data Matrix field, but some
of the menu options are different. You can find more information about Data
Matrix fields on page 19.
2.1 Encode an existing field
For this example, a bar code is generated that uses the text field “ABC” in the following
message.
Figure 2. Example message
The Linx 5900 & 7900 Quick Start Guide describes how you create a message like Figure 2,
then select and edit a field. Perform the following steps to create the bar code for this field.
NOTE: You cannot use this method to combine more than one source field into a single bar
code.
