Testimonials of ConnectCode Barcode Fonts used in Barcode & Label Edgar Martinez (CTO - Record Guardian Inc.) I use your product to create barcodes. The bar codes are read by high volume document scanners which create the main index for our document search utility. We were able to document the creation process so that staff can produce the barcodes in 4 simple steps. T.M. (BrassCraft) I have used several bar code font applications over the past 20 years and found that ConnectCode is the cleanest solution I have found. Dr P.S. (ResMed Ltd) ResMed is a signatory to GS1 so the support of these barcode formats is very important. I showed this to one of our IT staff and he commented that it was better than anything they had. D.C. (Catholic Education Office) It solved all my problems with bar-coded for our computer system. Glyn Rowling (Amethyst Mailing) The font allows for the barcode to be consistently sized and placed regardless of what data the initial page of the document uses to generate its code. J.G (Cadex Electronics Ltd) Product is easy to use and extremely versatile. David Cheng (Best2all.com) I replaced my barcode labeling machine with this setup.
