Preferred Bar Code Font and Size for TDS Templates in RecTrac 3.1
Problem
What is the preferred font and size for bar codes in 3.1 Template Design Studio?
Solution
If including a barcode on your TDS Template, VSI recommends using IDAutomationC128SX, Normal, 18pt, Black, Center-Justified, 0 Rotation. You should also leave a quarter-inch (or so) of clear, white space around the barcode.
For standard text, VSI recommends Helvetica font, as it is PDF-based and will help reduce the file size of your template.
Barcodes are often associated with Access Control Tickets, Pass Memberships, Service Items, Inventory Items, POS Tickets, and Rental Items. However, bar codes can be included on other templates, if needed.
Font parameters are maintained in Template Maintenance Object Update.
