PURPOSE – Barcodes are used to automatically index documents during capture (i.e. client ID #, Episode #, and Document Type).

PREREQUISITES – To use barcodes with ImageNow, you must have a CaptureNow for Kofax license or a CaptureNow ISIS Level 1 or higher license.

How do I upload the necessary barcode font?

  • Save the following file onto your desktop:
  • Navigate to your control panel. Then click on fonts.
  • Paste the “Free 3 of 9 Extended_0” file into this area.

  • The fonts from this file will now be available in word and wordpad.
  • Use the “Free 3 of 9 Extended” font.

How do I create barcodes for the document types?

  • Create the barcodes in Wordpad.
    • Microsoft word does not recognize certain characters and sometimes inserts unnecessary characters.
  • The following format will need to be utilized for each document type barcode:
    • *DT-Document Type Name* (Change this line to font “Free 3 of 9 Extended”)
    • *DT-Document Type Name* (Keep this line in the default font)

  • Additional Notes
    • We will want to create a barcode for each document type.
    • The document type barcode sheets can easily be reused.
    • The spelling and capitalization of the document types needs to match the document types that we created in myAvatar .
    • Each barcode needs to be on its own page.
    • Center the document type and make it the largest font possible. If the font is too small, the system may have difficulty reading the barcode. The margins of the document should be .5.
