Hence the process of generating a printed barcode representing a given input is performed entirely within the printer (or print system) so that it is no longer the responsibility of your application or a library. There is no need for any barcode fonts and the flexibility gained by this approach allows you to avoid re-implementing barcode generator code, or migrating to new libraries, whenever your project language needs change. It makes including any barcode within a PostScript document as simple as inserting the following directive: (1-86074-271) (includetext) isbn barcode" http://www.cgpp.com/bookland/#links Free Software for *ISBN* (Bookland EAN-13) Bar Codes<http://www.cgpp.com/bookland/> http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/ISBN " Planned upgrade Because of a pending shortage in certain ISBN categories, the International Organization for Standardization<http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/International_Organization_for_Standardization>(ISO) will migrate to a thirteen-digit ISBN starting on 1 January <http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/1_January> 2007<http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/2007>.
