18.5 Writing Barcodes

If you wish to produce your own barcodes (eg for member cards) you will need to install barcode fonts. Gymmaster comes with two free barcode fonts which must be installed before the member barcodes mailmerge will produce barcodes.

Recent versions of the Gymmaster (full version) Installer install the fonts automatically. If your documents (eg: ''Member Barcodes'' mailmerge) come out with text instead of barcodes, the barcode fonts free3of9.ttf and fre3of9x.ttf are provided in the c:\gymmaster\templates directory. To install them follow these steps.

1. Click on Start, Select settings and click on Control Panel.
2. Double click fonts or Type ``fonts'' in the address bar.
3. In the File menu select ``Install-new font..
4. Select the folder where the Code 39 barcode font is. (C:\GymMaster\templates)
5. The Code 39 barcode font will appear and look like this: ``Free 3 of 9 Regular (true type)'' - select this font and Click on OK.
6. You may also install the other font(s)..
7. If the font does not work immediately, save any other work you have open then Click Start and choose to shut down and restart the computer.
8. The font should be available when the computer is restarted.
