I'd suggest you contact the barcode association in your area. There is a
lot more to the production of barcodes than just bars and spaces. There
are complex algorithms for check digits, bars that have to be present if
certain conditions are there etc. Also the ratio of black to white
spaces, height to width of the bars and gaps etc. There is a rather
arcane and sleep-inducing book here in Australia, and I assume wherever
you are too.
There are many systems of barcodes and you need the exact specs of the
system you want to use.
If you are wanting to print barcodes, I'd be more inclined to think in
terms of having barcode printers and sending the printercodes with the
page (people who wrestled with dot matrix printers in the old DOS days
will know what I mean).
