Summary:

BarDIMM
barcodes on Canon printers

BarDIMM Pro 3.2 can be easily used from Windows, Unix, AS/400 and Mainframes. On a PC
under Windows, including a barcode in a document is as easy as selecting a new font in your
Windows application (Word, Excel, MS-Access...).

Pro 3.2 is the most complete and easiest solution to print quickly and accurately

With BarDIMM Pro 3.2, no programming is required to print professional barcodes: the printer
does the job automatically, from checking and compressing incoming data, calculating
checksum, to writing text under or above the bars. Furthermore, it features OMR codes for
folding/inserting mailroom machines as well as an extensive list of fully scalable manufacturing,
safety and Euro currency symbols used by most companies.

BarDIMM Pro 3.2 is directly usable from Windows thanks to its patent-pending Windows
interface, is supported by many ERPs including SAP R/3 and usable from Oracle, Peoplesoft
and JD Edwards and any custom application on virtually any system.

produced by dynamic calculation formulas (i.e. from a spreadsheet like Excel or database
application like MS-Access). BDTT fonts are listed at the beginning of the font list and are easily
identifiable in the font menu thanks to the barcode symbol at the beginning of their name:
