- A placement on a white background or integrated into a text, a flat surface, a drawing or a photo

Possibilities
- Generating self-contained EPS or PDF files, including a barcode font (EPS example et PDF example according to one of the many options)

- Multiple generation, based on external data file
- Addition on demand of protections to forbid layout errors on a filled or colored background
- Barcodes orientation to 0° (landscape format) more or less 90° (portrait format)
- Possibility of correcting the fattening of the low quality printing, for example on newsprint
- Integration of the barcode font to the file, for optimum results regardless of the print resolution
- Adding a free comment on an EPS preview or a post-it PDF
