JPS61279986A - Automatic generator of bar code syllabic character - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a high quality product at high productivity irrespective of operator's skill by generating automatically a bar code syllabic character according to the type and standards of a bar code, and displaying, registering and printing it. CONSTITUTION:A display device 11 specifies the type of a bar code, the number of dots and the type of a character. A controller 12 obtains information on the concerned bar code. In accordance with the information, the controller 12 decides the dot number of bar code elements. Then according to the standards of each type of bar code on a bar code information table 15, the controller 12 decides the array of the bar code elements of the bar code corresponding to the specified character. The generated bar code syllabic character is displayed on the device 11, and confirmed. The displayed bar code syllabic character is stored in a bar code syllabic character memory device 13 and printed to a bar code syllabic character printing device 14. Thus the high quality bar code can be obtained at high productivity irrespective of operators skill.
