SUMMARY
=======

FoxPro can read and write bar code information with the help of a third- party
library and/or font.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To print bar code information, either a bar code font is used or the bar code is
printed as a graphic. If a font is used, the font must be capable of printing
bar codes in the desired format, such as USPS bar code, Code39, or Interleaved
2-of-5.

FoxPro can also scan information into a database field directly from a bar code
reader.

The following companies provide bar code products for use with FoxPro.
