Inc. Tracking goods using a bar code is an essential part of many businesses. The challenge with generating bar codes is that they typically require special programming and application development. The Optra Bar Code SIMM enables Lexmark printers to produce high-quality bar codes easily, without the need for expensive programming resources.
Programmers simply choose bar code characteristics such as format, dimension and check sum.
The Lexmark Visual Bar Code Designer utility then produces the visual PCL or PostScript commands to be embedded in virtually any application. Generating bar codes in the printer not only produces a better quality, more readable bar code than sending bitmapped images from an application, it also reduces the size of files containing bar codes. The Optra Bar Code SIMM can be combined with other Lexmark applications such as Optra Forms to substantially improve general workflow and the appearance of printed documents. All rights reserved.
