The Bar Code Generator module creates 3 of 9 bar codes from values within a line-of-business application, enabled by the Application Enabler module, or values directly entered in the Bar Code Generator interface. Bar codes created can be printed for use in the Document Imaging module for indexing purposes. Bar codes can be printed automatically or they can be accumulated until all necessary bar codes are created and printed all at once. Likewise, groups of records, or record sets, can be saved to a .bar file for later use and editing.
Each time bar codes are printed, the Bar Code Generator automatically creates a self-configured bar code and adds it to the printed page. This self-configured bar code contains information about the sizes and locations of the other bar codes on the printed page. Because this automatically-captured information eliminates the need to manually configure the size and location of each bar code to be printed, using a self-configured bar code can greatly simplify and expedite bar code processing.
