Depends on how the data is formated in your barcode field. To use
this font, all the data should be a string of '2','1','3', and '0' .
You may find that instead the data may be formated as 'D','A','T' and
'F'. If this is the case, you will need to write a rule to switch
the characters, for example:
var onecode = "FATD"; //Replace "FATD" with Field
("YourOneCode")
onecode = onecode.replace(/F/g,"0"); // replaces all F with 0
onecode = onecode.replace(/A/g,"1"); // replaces all A with 1
onecode = onecode.replace(/T/g,"3"); // replaces all T with 3
onecode = onecode.replace(/D/g,"2"); // replaces all D with 2
return onecode;
On the other hand, if you are building the barcode from raw data,
like routing codes, sequence numbers, you will want to use the
OneCodeBarcode Javascript function from FusionPro to format the data
to make the barcode. Then apply the font.
