Working with Fonts
EPSON BarCode Fonts (Windows Only)
EPSON BarCode Fonts let you easily create and print many types 
of bar codes.
Normally, bar code creation is a laborious process requiring you 
to specify various command codes, such as Start bar, Stop bar and 
OCR-B, in addition to the bar code characters themselves. 
However, EPSON BarCode Fonts are designed to add such codes 
automatically, allowing you to easily print bar codes that conform 
to a variety of bar code standards.
EPSON BarCode Fonts support the following types of bar codes.
