Sorry - I was not really specific. We use the free version of code 39 from this site. It is a Word font that you install to write or xfer your ILCs into barcodes.

One more thing that I just thought of: When I said we use the code 39 from the site that does not mean that is all they have. I did see the 128B about

1/2 way down.

For those interested in implementing this, here is a tip:

I think you have to end a start/end code to get your barcode scanner to read the free 39 fonts. If I recall, you have to start and end each ILC with a *. You could create a column in Excel to add this character:

="*"&A2&"*"

...assuming your first ILC is in cell A2.

Then just hide column A and format the column font as the free 39 font. Barcodes should appear and will print as shown.

Read up on it, because I can't remember if you need the trailing * or not or if this is the right character to add.
