You can also download this add-on go to http://www.idautomation.com/font-encoders/word-excel-addin/ for adding barcodes in Excel or Word.

Make sure that Visual Basic is available in Excel before you begin. And all restrictions for macros are removed in the security settings.

  1. Go to http://www.idautomation.com/font-encoders/vba-macro/. In the list of free products find 'VBA Macros for Excel & Access'.
  2. Click on the link and download the product to your computer.
  3. The program is downloaded as the archive. Unzip the file named 'BarcodeFunctions.zip'.
  4. Press Alt + F11 at the same time to open the Visual Basic editor. In the top box click the 'File' button. We need to import (CTRL+M) the code downloaded from the Internet.
  5. Find the downloaded file. In the Windows VBA folder select IDAutomation.bas. The imported module adds fonts and functions to the Excel workbook to convert a set of numbers and letters into a barcode.
  6. After import it appears in the 'Modules' folder.
  7. Then you need to exit the Visual Basic editor. Enter the test code in the first cell of the page. In cell A2 enter a test code (for example, 11223344) and click 'DEVELOPER' - 'Macros'.
  8. In the menu that appears, select the macro to generate the 8-digit barcode and press 'execute'.

The next step is to print the barcode from Excel to verify the correct encoding. That is, you can print the codes only when special fonts are used.

The connection process depends on the scanner model and its capabilities. Sometimes you do not need to do anything. It is enough to connect the scanner to the computer using the 'keyboard connector', and open the Excel workbook (the USB driver of the scanner must be installed).

The scanner does not perceive the barcode as a graphic object. It converts it into a set of numbers. During operation the numeric value read by the device. After this, it's inserted into the active cell and a line conversion is worked out. The detector sends an 'Enter' character, which causes the cursor to go to the next line.

A big number of scanner models work like a keyboard. The data immediately goes into the active cell of the sheet when you enter the code.

A number of devices require a special add-on: the standard menu does not cope with the task.
