Some are easy (like in my example in the next paragraph) and some are not (like a UPC). You have to do this yourself and this varies by barcode type.

What I mean is if you’re using a truetype font for example the font will not generate the “start” or “stop” of the barcode. One thing you have to be sure of is if your printing the correct “format”.

I recommend the third party software solution. The third party software is cheaper than a verifier and can provide other capabilities, such as label design and compatibility with a wide variety of printers and symbologies. If you cannot bring yourself to use a third party package, then I recommend you purchase verifier equipment to allow you to confirm that your printed bar codes meet specs.

This is why I recommend use of third party software to print bar codes as good quality bar code printing packages has been thoroughly tested with all the brands and models of printers that it supports. Worse yet, you may get your codes working initially only to later have the printed codes go out of spec, seriously impacting your production operation, perhaps at great cost in operating downtime. Debugging the problem can be very time consuming. Using a font through Windows with whatever printer is handy, may not work. The specs for each of these vary according to the particular bar code symbology chosen. In order to be scanned successfully, printed bar codes must conform to a very specific set of specifications about the ratios of height to width, the ratios of the bars to the spaces, and the embedded check digits.
