Bar Code Fonts in Genesis

The ReportWriter can produce Bar Coded fields.  To do so, you must upload a bar code font into Genesis, and when creating a ReportWriter, you must specifically set the field to generate a bar code.

A free bar code true type font file is included below, along with the free license you need to use this font and a description of it.  Download this free font and upload into Genesis.  This will enable you to generate bar coded fields in reports.
