ITF-14 Barcode FAQ in WinForms Barcode Library DLL

It is possible and easy to create ITF-14 barcode images using ITF-14 .NET barcode library SDK for Winforms. Developers are free to generate and print ITF-14 barcode images using dragging and dropping method or using C# or VB.NET class library in .NET windows applications. The embedded barcode images in .NET winForms are flexible to be changed barcode properties.

This page has detail introduction of how to set ITF-14 barcode properties in .NET windows applications from the following aspects to generate required ITF-14 barcode images:

The data encodes in ITF-14 is numeric digits from 0 to 9. The value to encode passed to .NET barcode library DLL must be 13 digits only because the 14th digit (the checksum) is automatically calculated by Terrek.Barcode Generator SDK. Users are free to input ITF-14 data via BarcodeData property.

The human-readable text of ITF-14 is flexible to be enabled or disabled in barcode symbols. Users may apply this property through DisplayData. Once enabling the input data in barcode symbol, text color, text space, and text font style are adjustable via TextColor, TextSpace, TextStyle properties.

ITF-14 barcode symbol has a unique Bearer Bar that is usually mandatory. But for some specified applications, it can be removed. When a skewed scanning beam enters the barcode symbol through its top or bottom edge, this bar can help reduce the probability of misreads or short scans. Users may use BearerBarLnR, BearerBarTnB properties to customize bearer bar.

As the name specified, it means the ratio between wide bar and narrow bar, the value ranges from 2.0 to 3.0. The default is 2, developers may change the value through WideVSNarrow property.

ITF-14 X, Y dimension means the bar width and bar height of ITF-14 barcode. In .NET barcode control library SDK, they are BarWidth and BarHeight. The whole barcode image is changed according to the adjustment of bar width and bar height.

If the breakdown parameters are unknown, you can set the width and height of the barcode image ImageWidth & ImageHeight directly. Once you enabled the image resize function, you only need to provide the size of entire barcode image. This intelligent ITF-14 will draw the barcode with reasonable parameters. The generated ITF-14 is 100% compatible with GS1 General Specifications.

Increasing the width of margins around the symbol is one way to enhance the readability of the ITF-14 barcode image. The .NET barcode control library SDK set the left, right, top, and bottom margins separately with float values. The default value is 0. The properties in VS .NET barcode library are MarginL, MarginR, MarginB and MarginT

ITF-14 generated in .NET Barcode Generator DLL library can be displayed as Gif, Tiff, Bmp, Png, Jpeg and other image formats. Programmers may change the format using BarcodeFormat property. Besides, the created ITF-14 can be saved as Bitmap, Stream and Graphic .NET objects.

DPI (Dots per inch) is used commonly as the measure of printing resolution. It allows the customization of images created to support reading small barcodes with barcode readers. The resolution of image generated by ITF-14 generator could be managed with DPI. Users may change DotsPerInch property.

ITF-14 position in .NET windows applications may be influenced by two factors, one is barcode alignment, and the other is rotation. Programmers may set the position by Rotation and BarAlign respectively.

It is able to change barcode colors with .NET Barcode Control Library DLL. Both background color and foreground color are easy to be changed by manipulating ImageColor and BarColor respectively. The color types are WYSWYG.

Using .NET barcode library SDK for Windows applications, users are easy to create ITF-14 barcode images in the following environments with flexibility. Guide to generate ITF-14 barcode images in .NET WinForms.
