Barcode for & Sign....?
-
hello, I have developed an desktop app and i am printing barcodes at some stages. I am having issue printing the & sign. As the barcode font does'nt read this character. On furthur search i come to know there are 43 characters that the barcode font accepts and the & sign in not included in this list of 43 characters. Any ideas how can i make use of & sign and print its barcode..? Thanks in Advance, Asfand

If it's not there, then you can't use it. Adding it would be impossible, as all other barcode-scanners wouldn't know about the new character. What type of barcode[^] are you using to encode your information?

You can only print symbols which are within the character set for any particular barcode. The simpler codes support only numerics, and so forth, in order to compact the physical size of the printed code. Try switching to EAN128 (or code128) which supports a better range of characters: See Here[^] That site also gives some detail on other barcode formats.

I only read formatted code with indentation, so please use PRE tags for code snippets.
I'm not participating in frackin' Q&A, so if you want my opinion, ask away in a real forum (or on my profile page).
