A Barcode Label Maker is a computer application that is used to make or insert barcode labels into any type of document. These labels can either be used as standalone labels or can be embedded into other documents and printed through the use of special printers. Using a Barcode Label Maker application, a document containing barcodes can then be scanned using a scanning machine and any information contained within the barcodes can be viewed, printed or copied into another document. The application uses the Barcode Data Interchange Format (BIDIF) as its basic specification and allows this information to be easily read and analysed.
It is possible to open a Barcode Label Maker application on a variety of operating systems and it is possible to download the applications free of charge. The main advantage of using this software is that it allows the user to create many different types of labels, this is often done with the use of barcode images. If the same image is also copied into another document, then it will be possible to cut and paste a barcode label onto another document.
Another advantage of using a Barcode Label Maker is that it allows a document to be read by the scanner as an image, rather than by trying to interpret it as text. This is a very useful feature for use with scanners, but not so useful for normal PC users. By downloading a Barcode Label Maker free application it is possible to scan and read barcodes much more quickly than it would be possible to do with the software that was provided by the manufacturer of the scanner.
